This company shows up prominently at the top of a Google search for us immigration when one is looking for actual government sites. The web page is designed to appear as if it is a government page. They charge but the implication is that you are submitting a legitimate government filing fee. It is only after you have completed all the input that it is apparent that the whole thing is a subterfuge.
Once I realized I'd been "taken" I looked at teh site a lot more closely. At the bottom of the home page in small, light gray, hard to read text is a discalimer that they are not affiliated with the government. But, this text is off the bottom of the screen. Unless you scroll down looking for it you would never see it.
The whole site is set up to look as if it is an official government immigration site and to deceive applicants. Their charge is just to fill in a form that is available for free from the real us immigration website. Also, their site kept repeatedly crashing, which was my first clue that I had been scammed.
I am going to challenge the credit card charge, but I don't expect much success.
Bottom line, this is a crooked, rip-off site that preys upon immigration applicants. They ought to be charged with impersonating federal agents!
