Ten cuidado con la ayuda para asuntos de inmigración

16 de octubre de 2018

Lisa Weintraub Schifferle

Abogada, División de educación del consumidor y negocios, FTC

Si estás buscando ayuda para tus asuntos de inmigración, es posible que te topes con sitios web parecidos a los del gobierno – pero que en verdad son sitios de compañías que fingen formar parte del gobierno de EE. UU. El reciente acuerdo resolutorio de la FTC brinda algunas lecciones sobre cómo protegerse.

¿Sobre qué trata el acuerdo? La compañía Forms Direct, Inc., también conocida como American Immigration Center, estableció sitios web que parecían sitios web oficiales del gobierno de EE. UU. En esos sitios, con nombres tales como “us-immigration.com” y “uscitizenship.info”, se usaron títulos como “U.S. Immigration”, y se incluyeron imágenes de águilas o de la Estatua de la Libertad. En los resultados del motor de búsqueda aparecían anuncios de la compañía que incluían el nombre de la agencia de inmigración del gobierno, “USCIS”. En los anuncios decía que a cambio del pago de cargos de entre $120 y $300, la gente podía usar sus sitios web para presentar solicitudes de renovación de tarjetas verdes, solicitudes de ciudadanía u otros formularios de inmigración.

Pero estos no eran sitios web del gobierno. Los cargos fueron directamente a la compañía. Además, la gente todavía tenía que pagar los cargos de presentación cobrados por el gobierno, y a veces, hasta tenía que presentar los formularios por su cuenta.

Gracias al acuerdo de la FTC, ahora la compañía tiene que decir claramente que no está afiliada con el gobierno federal. Además, tiene que explicarle a la gente que tiene que presentar sus formularios ante el gobierno y que tiene que pagar cualquier cargo aplicable. Y eso no es todo: bajo los términos del acuerdo, la compañía pagará $2.2 millones de dólares que serán reembolsados a los consumidores.

¿Cómo puedes evitar las estafas dirigidas contra los inmigrantes? Te listamos algunas cosas a tener en cuenta:

• Identifica los auténticos sitios web del gobierno. Si el domicilio del sitio termina en .gov, es un sitio del gobierno de EE. UU. 
• Nunca pagues a cambio de formularios del gobierno en blanco. Puedes obtener formularios de inmigración gratuitamente en uscis.gov/es/forularios o llamando al USCIS al 1-800-870-3676. Puede haber cargos de presentación, pero los formularios propiamente dichos son gratis.
• No uses un notario público para asesoramiento legal. En Estados Unidos, los notarios no son abogados y no tienen permitido dar asesoramiento legal. Para encontrar un abogado especializado en asuntos de inmigración que ofrezca servicios gratis o a bajo costo, consulta esta lista detallada por estado del Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU.

Para más información, visita ftc.gov/inmigracion. Y si has detectado una estafa, repórtala a la FTC o al Fiscal General de tu estado.

Florida State Parks: Hurricane Michael Recovery

Dear Florida State Park Supporter,

On behalf of Florida State Parks, our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Michael. I know many in the Panhandle are still assessing the immense damage, but the recovery process has begun in communities and state parks throughout Northwest Florida. In some parts, it will be a long journey.

Florida State Parks is focused on the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers and staff, and that is why some state parks remain closed throughout Northwest Florida. However, park staff and volunteers are working every day to clean up fallen trees, remove debris and repair structural damage to make parks safe to open. Visitors can check individual park statuses on our website at the Florida State Parks Storm Updates page, which is updated as new information becomes available. The goal is to return some normalcy to the communities who utilize the parks for recreation, relaxation and respite.

We firmly believe that People make the Parks. Our staff’s dedication and passion help allow our visitors to have amazing and transformative experiences in Florida's state parks. Many members of our staff in the Panhandle have been impacted by the storm and have lost their homes and other possessions. However, many are still actively working at their state parks to restore the places we all love. 

Immediately following the storm, we received questions from community members, wanting to know how to support the state parks and park staff who were impacted. The outpouring of support has been moving. If you're interested in assisting, here is how you can make a difference:

• Donate: Support the Florida Park Service Ranger Association, who have provided funds for affected staff. The Florida State Parks Foundation and the specific park “Friends” groups are providing funds to aid in recovery.
• Volunteer: Parks will need volunteers to assist in cleanup efforts when they can be safely accessed. I encourage you to complete a Florida State Parks volunteer application or visitVolunteer Florida to learn other ways you can help the community.
• Visit: Show your support for the parks by visiting one of the more than 160 parks that are open. These include some parks in the Panhandle like Edward Ball Wakulla Springs, Camp Helen and Ponce de Leon Springs state parks. The parks provide a place to relax, escape and experience the Real Florida℠.

I know that together with staff, volunteers and community supporters, our state and its state parks will recover and be stronger than before.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and contact our information line at 850-245-2157.

Thank you for your continued support.

Deco: Luxury to Mass Market  Date:  Ongoing Location:  The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Avenue  About:  "Art Deco" has come to evoke a set of styles that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s out of aspirations to fuse art and industry into a modern language of design. From exquisite handcrafted objects to streamlined household appliances, the items on display in Deco demonstrate how American designers adapted a style associated with European luxury to the demands of industrial mass production. Through decorative arts, product design, architecture, and graphics from the Wolfsonian collection, the exhibition traces Art Deco's origins in Europe, its migration to the United States, and its evolution into a fully American style-perhaps most spectacularly realized on Miami Beach in the 1930s.   Deco: Luxury to Mass Market is made possible by Diane and Alan Lieberman and the South Beach Group, with the support of Jamestown, L.P., and Saul and Jane Gross and Streamline Properties.
