Since the start of 2025—with a new government and ongoing changes in immigration policies—many immigrants have felt confusion, fear, and anxiety. And understandably so: every day new videos, posts, and news reports appear, often saying completely different things.
Has it happened to you that you see an alarming video on TikTok, and the next day someone promises you a green card, asylum, or work permit without even evaluating your case?
That mix of true, false, and incomplete information has caused enormous misinformation, and unfortunately, many people end up in the wrong hands.
The Risk of Seeking Unauthorized Help
At J Kelley Law Group, we’ve seen many cases of people who, hoping to fix their immigration status, trusted notaries, paralegals, or individuals not authorized to practice law in the United States.
Some became victims of scams… others lost legal opportunities because their cases were not handled on time.
That’s why it’s so important to remember that only attorneys licensed in the U.S. are authorized to provide immigration legal advice. Not all hope is lost—even if you don’t qualify for a specific benefit, you can still get accurate information, understand your rights, and know the consequences of your decisions.
At our firm, we believe that clear and trustworthy information is the first step to protecting yourself and moving forward with confidence.
Tips to Identify Reliable Immigration Help
If you’re thinking about seeking guidance regarding your immigration status, here are a few tips to help you make safer decisions:
1. Always look for a licensed immigration attorney.
2. Verify their official website and social media accounts.
3. Make sure they have a physical office you can visit or confirm their location.
4. Read reviews and testimonials before paying any money.
5. If something feels off, look for another option.
6. Don’t send transfers or payments until you clearly understand why you qualify for a benefit and what the service includes.
Remember: an initial consultation with an immigration attorney is your opportunity to ask questions, clear doubts, and make sure you’re in good hands.
