Notarios
Beware of "notarios"! These people generally charge high fees and lack accreditation, continuing training and education in immigration law. Often "notarios" file incorrect and unnecessary paperwork. The advice and information they give about immigration laws and procedures is often false and misleading. This has led to serious consequences for many who unknowingly trusted a "notario" with their application.
