Repost of USCIS Blog from January 30, 2014: Scam Alert - Caller ID Spoofing

1/31/2014

0 Comments

 
This is a re-post of the USCIS blog from January 30, 2014. The original blog post can be found here: http://blog.uscis.gov/2013/08/scam-alert-caller-id-spoofing.html
BEGIN QUOTE
WARNING: We have received several reports of the following scam in just the past few days! 

In recent weeks, we learned of a new telephone scam targeting USCIS applicants and petitioners. Scammers are using a technique called “Caller ID spoofing” to display a misleading or inaccurate phone number in a recipient’s Caller ID. 

The scammer poses as a USCIS official and requests personal information (such as Social Security number, passport number, or A-number), identifies supposed issues in the recipient’s immigration records, and asks for payment to correct these records. Often, scammers will threaten victims with deportation or other negative consequences if they do not pay. 

If you receive a call like that, USCIS urges you to hang up immediately. 

USCIS never asks for any form of payment or personal information over the phone. Do not give payment or personal information over the phone to anyone who claims to be a USCIS official. In general, we encourage you to protect your personal information and not to provide details about your immigration application in any public area.

If someone claiming to be from USCIS calls making threats such as deportation and tells you to make a money transfer or go to a store or drug store to purchase a money order, voucher or make some other type of money exchange, payment or withdrawal - do not go along with it - hang up and report it!

If you have been a victim of this telephone scam, please report it to the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, or report it to an appropriate state authority. (Visit  www.uscis.gov/avoidscams for information on where to report scams in your state.)

If you have a question about your immigration record, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, or make an InfoPass appointment by visiting our website at http://infopass.uscis.gov/.

On Immigration Reform - written on December 3, 2013

12/29/2013

By Mark Harley, Schneck & Harley Immigration Law Group, LLP
Note:  The author is the immediate past chair of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and is a partner in Schneck & Harley Immigration Law Group, LLP.  He also served as an Immigration Advisor to a Member of Congress.
The United States Congress has recently taken up the issue of Immigration Reform.  Some may recall that this was a hot topic several years ago, and was a key agenda item of former President George W. Bush.  However, due to a number of reasons that proposed reform stalled and never became law.

After the elections of 2012, both Democrats and Republicans again turned to the topic of Immigration Reform and it looked like the government was finally going to act.  Both parties recognized that the present immigration system is crippled and needs overhauled.  The question is how to do so?

DOMA Ruling’s Impact on Immigration for Bi-National Same-Sex Couples

9/29/2013

0 Comments

 
Updated on October 24, 2013:
"We are pleased to announce that our very own Attorney Mark Harley was informed today by the USCIS office that he attended Pittsburgh's first lawful permanent residency interview based on DOMA.  Congrats to the newly approved couple #YourImmigrationPartner"

   The 5-4 majority decision of the Supreme Court overturning the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA looks to have major impact on immigration law, with many changes on the horizon. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enacted September 21, 1996 was a United States Federal Law that allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed under the laws of other states. 

   As of July 2013, there are thirteen states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) that permit same-sex marriage. According to the last census, there are approximately 36,000 bi-national same-sex couples living in the United States. 

   The decision made by the Supreme Court does not guarantee a right to same-sex marriage, but it allows same-sex couples who live in the states that allow same-sex marriage to receive the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples.

Update to the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver Process (Form I-601A)

9/29/2013

0 Comments

 
USCIS announced an update to the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver process beginning March 4, 2013. See their link (http://www.uscis.gov/provisionalwaiver) for information on Eligibility Requirements and Reasons Your Waiver May Be Revoked. 

The aim of this new program is to avoid having immigrant visa applicants who are spouses and sons and daughters of U.S. citizens be separated from their families for months or even years while their waivers are pending.

Now, these family members will obtain their waivers before departing the U.S., will be interviewed abroad, and will then return to their families in the U.S. within a shorter period of time.

While a step in the right direction, navigating through the eligibility requirements, understanding the DOs and DONTs, and completing the application (Form I-601A along with supporting documentation and evidence) still remains fairly complex. If you would like more information on this process, please reach out to us. We would be happy to be #YourImmigrationPartner.
