Be very careful who you are giving your money to and what they are promising you.

Haitian people are constantly falling prey to these fake immigration services.

I myself was taken for a few thousand dollars when I was living here illegally.

Since the Haiti Earthquake, there are many so called organizations who are promising you everything to take your money.

Sad to say, these are Haitian-run organizations out to screw you out of your hard earned money.

I wanted to make sure I bring this to your attention.

CNN announced earlier this week that "New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced Monday lawsuits to permanently shut down three Brooklyn-based companies that targeted Haitian communities with fraudulent immigration services."

Here are the names of some of the companies involved in this recent lawsuit:

  • Chay Pa Lou Community Center Inc.
  • Delegue Tax Consultant Inc.
  • Rincher's Multi-Service
  • Haitian American Entrepreneur's Group LLC

If you live in New York State, here is what you need to know:

Accoring to the CNN Article, "New York state law requires anyone providing immigration services to comply with advertising, signage and surety requirements, and to give consumers written contracts in both the consumer's native language and English that detail their services and cancellation policy. Furthermore, it is illegal to mislead or defraud any person in immigration-related services."

UNLESS GOD INTERVENES.

If God wants Haitians to change they will be transformed in the blink of an eye. The principal applies to the rest of the world, and THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE has the last word.

I use to work with a bunch of racist white women, and they did not associate with Blacks.

You have Haitians who cannot read, or write and others do no speak English.

You also have Haitians pulling each other's teeth with plyers in garages, and who knows what else is going on in their basements.

I had a terrible toothache one time, and was in a store.

I just don't understand why someone would pay an organization to take care of his/her immigration businesses, when he/she can go straight to the source.

The uscis.gov webpage provide enough information to people about immigration cases.

Not only they provided the forms needed there, but you also have detailed instructions on how to fill out the forms.
