New York Attorney General on Haitian immigration consultants
Those immigration consultants who have been trying to take advantage of Haitians by claiming to help Haitians apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), are under the radar of The New York Attorney General's Office. The New York Attorney General's office says it's keeping a close watch on rogue Haitian immigration consultants who claim to be helping Haitians apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which would allow them to work legally for at least 18 months.
New York Attorney Alphonso David says his team in the civil rights bureau has now subpoenaed records from at least six immigration consultants with Haitian customers. There are no charges filed yet on these Haitian immigration consultants, but he says these consultants are taking too much money for services they're not qualified to provide, and cheating Haitians out of the chance to become legal. New York Attorney General's office says one woman told them she had paid several thousand dollars to a company that promised to help but couldn't deliver. More than one in 10 TPS applications are rejected by the government simply because the forms weren't filled out correctly.
