Twenty three states, and the City of New York, have
implemented some form of legislation that regulates the
preparation of immigration forms. Anyone wanting to prepare
immigration forms will have to comply with the immigration
regulations in their state. The purpose of these regulations
is to protect against consumer fraud. Richard Granat,
Director of Legal Technician Training Institute, prepared
a comprehensive
chart of the codes regulating immigration document preparation
by non-lawyers in each state. If there is no regulation
in a state, a legal document preparer must adhere to the
Federal guidelines. |
