Rep. Marc Veasey to Host Workshop on Combating Notario Fraud

August 11, 2014

Fort Worth, Texas—This week, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, will launch efforts to educate immigrants about the dangers of immigration service provider fraud starting with the FREE Workshop on Combating Notario Fraud and Immigration Clinic, on Saturday, August 16th from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Northside Community Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Veasey launches this anti-fraud campaign after introducing proposed (H.R. 5228, The Notario Victim Relief Act), legislation that aims to assist victims of immigration services fraud, which often involves individuals calling themselves "Notarios Publicos" and misrepresenting themselves as skilled experts in immigration law.

During the half-day event expert panelists will address the impact of immigration services fraud, who can and can't provide immigration services, what rights you have and resources to prevent the spread of immigration scams. The panel discussion will be followed by a FREE immigration clinic hosted by Proyecto Inmigrante to provide CD33 residents with immigration counseling and information by accredited representatives.
