How to Become an Authorized 

Immigration Service Provider...

Who is an authorized immigration service provider? 

According to federal law, there are two groups of 

individuals that are authorized to represent applicants 

before USCIS. 

• A representative accredited by the Board of Immigration 

Appeals working for a recognized organization, and 

• An attorney who is in good standing. 

As an authorized immigration service provider 

you can:

• Select what form an applicant should submit,

• Provide legal advice about documents to submit,

• Explain immigration options, and

• Communicate with USCIS about an applicant’s case.

If I am not an authorized immigration service 

provider, what can I do? 

You can only:

• Read the form to the individual.

• Translate, either verbally or in writing, information from 

the individual’s native language to English or English to 

the individual’s language.

• Write down information that the individual provides to 

complete the application.

How do I or my organization become an authorized 

immigration service provider? 

An organization or individual must become recognized 

or accredited through the Department of Justice Board 

of Immigration Appeals (BIA). To learn more about 

the application process, please visit 

http://www.justice.gov/eoir/biainfo.htm.

Immigration scams and consumer fraud are illegal. In

some states, there are fines and other penalties for 

anyone not authorized to provide immigration assistance, 

even with good intentions.
