As the Immigration Acts of the last few years are implemented, we can observe their inflexibility. 

The immigrant, being anxious to become residents, demand that everything be done quickly, he does not see the importance of

details and the implications of providing false information, even if
it looks insignificant. 

Many immigrants, for not having the required documentation for their immigration process and for not being familiar with immigration law, get themselves into a dead end street. They consult with a qualified professional and reveal that they committed or might commit an act of fraud or falsification to obtain their residency; without understanding that they are making the counselor into their accomplice. In these cases, the legal representative will protect himself by not accepting the case and will disassociate himself from it for fear of losing his license.  

The immigrant insists, and looks for a different professional to help him with his problem, until he finds someone who is willing to take the risk and takes their case, only to receive an economic compensation. 

The immigrant must have absolute of control over all the information and documentation that is submitted in his name. By signing every form that is submitted to the government, he accepts that he is the person responsible and states under oath all the presented information and documentation is legitimate. When a typographical error is committed, there is the possibility of correcting it, without any major problems.  

To prevent fraud or falsification, take detailed note of the five points established by the International Immigrants Foundation 1) What is the ‘Intention’?; 2) Is it demonstrating ‘Good Faith’?; 3) Is it ‘Admissible’?; 4) Are you ‘Preparing’ the documentation carefully and without any falsification? And 5) Have you consider the ‘Power of Discretion’ that the Immigration officials have to approve or deny your case?  

Remember that there is always much more to analyze before formulating a legal strategy.
