The Denver Post reports that an immigration-help services company named "Simply Done Immigration" has been shut down after a settlement with the Colorado Attorney General's Office.
The company represented its staff members as being immigration document experts despite having no legal or immigration training. The company also inferred an affiliation with the U.S. government. In addition, it sold forms which can be obtained for free from government immigration offices or from the website www.uscis.gov. Simply Done Immigration will also be forced to pay $20,000 in consumer restitution.
The Attorney General's office deserves kudos for going after this company and others like it whose scams prey on the immigrant community and cause untold damage to people's lives when sometimes irreversible mistakes are made on immigration filings.
