This practice, often referred to as "unauthorized practice of immigration law" or "UPIL," has been a chronic problem for decades; it results in serious consequences including devastating financial loss and severe immigration ramifications such as deportation. The Commission is committed to educating the public regarding the legal process and upholding legal standards, ethics, and laws--federal, state, and local-- surrounding the practice of law.
