⚠️ Important: Avoid fraudulent “notarios”
AVOID PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES “NOTARIO PÚBLICO” FOR IMMIGRATION if not attorneys or BIA-accredited reps. US notary publics are NOT attorneys (unlike Latin America). People without legal credentials practicing immigration are violating federal law.
Verify credentials:
- Attorney: State Bar of practicing state + AILA directory
- BIA-Accredited Representative: BIA Recognition Roster
How to prepare for consultation
- Bring ALL documents: passport, green card if any, USCIS letters, criminal records, tax returns, evidence of family relationship, immigration status history
- Be HONEST: even about criminal records or past issues. Attorney needs FULL truth to defend you well.
- Ask about timelines and possible outcomes
- Confirm cost (if applicable) in writing before committing
- Bring translator if your English is limited
