Only two kinds of people can legally help you with your immigration case in the United States: licensed U.S. attorneys and DOJ-accredited representatives working at recognized organizations. That’s it. Not a notario. Not a “consultant.” Not a lawyer from your home country who isn’t licensed here. Not a friend who “did their own case.” Why does this matter so much? Because immigration law is one of the most complicated areas of law in this country, and one wrong move can follow you forever. I’ve seen people come to me after paying someone who wasn’t qualified. Wrong forms filed. Deadlines missed. Asylum applications filed with stories the person never told. In some cases, these mistakes lead to fraud findings, permanent bars, or deportation orders that could have been avoided. And by the time they find a real lawyer, the damage is already done. In many Latin American countries, a “notario público” is a highly trained legal professional. In the U.S., a notary public can only witness signatures. They cannot give legal advice, choose your forms, or represent you. Some people use that confusion on purpose to take advantage of our community. (See more in comments) #immigration #immigrationlawyer #notariofraud #immigrationhelp #immigrationfraudHere’s what we know. Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of ICE, searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home this morning. Reports say the investigation involves immigration paperwork her father filled out when she was a child refugee in the 1990s. The Justice Department confirmed the search but hasn’t said what it’s investigating, and she has not been charged with anything. Why this matters to you: if a sitting member of Congress, a citizen for 26 years, can have her childhood immigration file pulled back open, naturalized citizens should pay attention. This doesn’t mean your citizenship is in danger, but your records matter. Keep copies of everything you filed, know what your parents filed for you, and talk to a licensed immigration attorney, not a notario, before answering questions from any agency. We’ll keep following this. #breakingnews #immigrationlawyer #immigrationnews #ilhanomar #minnesotaThree things from this week you need to know. ICE shot a dad in the Bronx while his 5 year old sat in the back seat. Operation Safe California just started a 45 day sweep across the state, with agents reportedly told to go after anybody. And 74,000 lives lost in Gaza still barely get a mention. It’s been a heavy week, but we’re not going anywhere. An innocent life is an innocent life, no matter what soil it was born on. A lot of people in power won’t say that, but I will, because I refuse to stand by while their memory and the truth of what’s happening get pushed aside and forgotten. #freepalestine #immigrationlawyer #breakingnews #immigrationnewsThe government just froze green card applications at Microsoft and 7 other major companies. If you work at Microsoft, Adobe, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant or Capgemini, here’s what this means for you. Don’t make any big moves until you understand your options. #greencard #h1b #immigrationnews #microsoft #breakingnewsWe explain the critical change to work permit renewals: the automatic 540-day extension ended on October 30, If your EAD expires while renewal is pending, you must stop working. Apply up to 180 days before expiration to avoid gaps. #workpermit #ead #immigrationtips #workauthorization #i765If you’re an asylum seeker married to a U.S. citizen, does that marriage actually stop you from being deported? It depends on one thing most people don’t think about: did you get married before or after you got your Notice to Appear? Either way, you may still have a path to stay, but if you’re already in immigration court, the way you handle your case can make or break it. #immigrationattorney #immigrationlawyer #asylum #greencardWe discuss two new USCIS policies that make green card applications from inside the US harder, including using the application against you and denying cases without requesting further evidence. A lawsuit has been filed in Boston, but the policies are still in effect. #greencard #immigrationupdate #breakingnews #immigrationnews #immigrationattorneyJust a reminder from an immigration lawyer #asylum #casestatus #immigrationlaw #immigrationattorney #justadailyreminderWe talk about how even after a divorce, you remain financially responsible for your ex-spouse if you sponsored them for a green card via the I-864 form. This obligation ends only in four specific scenarios: death, permanent departure from the US, 10 years of work, or US citizenship. Remarriage does not cancel it. #divorce #greencard #immigrationtips #immigrationlawyer #immigrationattorneyWe get work done, we promise, but on Fridays, we’re quite exhausted and need the humor to pick us back up. Have a great weekend and Jummah Mubarak! #lawfirm #immigrationattorney #friends #officehumorAttention all asylum seekers, especially those are considering applying. #immigrationtips #asylum #asylumseekers #immigrationattorney #immigrationlawyerFiling your green card application yourself? Watch this before you submit. 🚨 As an immigration attorney, I see the same three mistakes over and over from people who filed on their own, and they lead to long USCIS delays: 1️⃣ Blank or incomplete answers on your forms. USCIS can reject the whole package and send it back. 2️⃣ Missing evidence. This leads to an RFE (Request for Evidence) and months of extra waiting. 3️⃣ Information that doesn’t match. Wrong dates, names, or addresses compared to your past filings get your case flagged. If your green card case has been pending for months with no update, one of these could be the reason. Filing for a spouse, parent, or child? Every month of delay matters. At the very least, have an immigration attorney review your application before you send it. This is general information, not legal advice. #greencard #immigrationtips #immigrationhelp #immigrationlawyer #immigrationattorney
