Immigration Fraud Legal Steps

Summary

If you suspect fraud in your work permit process, gather all documentation, including payment receipts and service agreements. Consider sending a legal notice through a lawyer, demanding a refund and alleging fraud. If the company does not respond, you can file a police complaint alleging cheating and fraud. Consulting with a local lawyer can provide further guidance on the appropriate legal steps to take.

Hello, I need legal assistance. I had registered with an immigration company for a work permit process. As per their service agreement, they have clearly stated a guarantee for providing a work permit. I made all the payments as per their demands and later received documents which, upon verification, seem suspicious or possibly fake. When I requested a written assurance, they refused. I have payment receipts, the service agreement, and other supporting proof. I would like to know the correct legal course of action — whether to first send a legal notice or file a police complaint — in case they fail to cooperate or refund.
Hey, that sounds frustrating. Since you have all the necessary documentation and proof, you have a strong case. Here are the steps you can consider:
*. Send a Legal Notice:
- It’s advisable to send a legal notice through a lawyer, demanding a refund and alleging fraud and misrepresentation.
*. File a Police Complaint:
- If the company does not respond to the legal notice, you can file a complaint with the local police alleging cheating and fraud.
