FRAUD WARNING: Protect Yourself from Immigration Scammers and Impersonators

We have been made aware of individuals impersonating Pardo Law Firm, PLLC and its attorneys through social media, WhatsApp, and requesting payments via Zelle. These individuals fraudulently claim to represent our firm and solicit payment from prospective clients.

Pardo Law Firm will NEVER:

  • Contact you through social media, WhatsApp, or any personal account
  • Request or collect any fees through social media, WhatsApp, or informal channels. All payments are processed through our official office only
  • Ask for payment toward your case before a formal consultation has been completed and a signed engagement agreement is in place
  • Request payment via Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or any personal payment platform. Any Zelle payment accepted by our firm is processed only to an official business account in the firm's name
  • Promise or guarantee a specific outcome in your immigration case
  • Refer you to a nonprofit, charity, church, or any third-party organization to assist with or offset your legal fees. We have no affiliation with any outside organization of this kind

How to verify you are communicating with our firm:

  • Use only our official phone number and email address listed on this website
  • Call our office directly to schedule and confirm any consultation before providing personal information or making any payment
  • If you have any doubt about who you are speaking with, you may request a video call with the attorney to visually confirm their identity
  • Please note that our consultations are not free. If someone offers you a free consultation claiming to represent our firm, treat it as a warning sign.
If you believe you have been contacted by someone impersonating Pardo Law Firm, do not send any money. You may report the incident to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to your local law enforcement agency.

We are deeply troubled that individuals are exploiting our firm's reputation to victimize people seeking legitimate legal help. If you have any doubt about a communication claiming to be from us, contact our office directly before taking any action.

What is consular processing?

Consular processing is one of two ways to get a green card or permanent resident status. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) offers an individual two primary paths to permanent resident status (a green card). An individual who is the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has an immigrant visa number immediately available may apply at a U.S. Department of State consulate abroad for an immigrant visa in order to come to the United States and be admitted as a permanent resident. This pathway is referred to as consular processing.

Consular processing versus adjustment of status

Adjustment of status is different from consular processing in that it is the process by which an eligible person, who is already in the United States, can apply for permanent resident status without having to return to his/her home country to complete processing.

Pardo Law Firm can assist you with your consular processing or adjustment status immigration case and help determine your eligibility and options. Contact our Charlotte immigration law office today at (704) 644-7065 to setup an appointment.
