This company shows up prominently at the top of a Google search for us immigration when one is looking for actual government sites. The web page is designed to appear as if it is a government page. They charge but the implication is that you are submitting a legitimate government filing fee. It is only after you have completed all the input that it is apparent that the whole thing is a subterfuge.
Once I realized I'd been "taken" I looked at teh site a lot more closely. At the bottom of the home page in small, light gray, hard to read text is a discalimer that they are not affiliated with the government. But, this text is off the bottom of the screen. Unless you scroll down looking for it you would never see it.
The whole site is set up to look as if it is an official government immigration site and to deceive applicants. Their charge is just to fill in a form that is available for free from the real us immigration website. Also, their site kept repeatedly crashing, which was my first clue that I had been scammed.
I am going to challenge the credit card charge, but I don't expect much success.
Bottom line, this is a crooked, rip-off site that preys upon immigration applicants. They ought to be charged with impersonating federal agents!

" Bottom line, this is a crooked, rip-off site that preys upon immigration applicants. "
More accurately, it preys upon people who automatically choose whatever site ranks high on Google and never bother to read anything on the website before handing over their money. For future reference, most government department websites end in " .gov ". Additionally, the opening page on this website says very clearly :
Of course, you always have the no-cost option of downloading the blank forms for free from the USCIS website and then navigating through the pages and pages of instructions to hopefully complete your application without making any errors or omissions which could cost you additional time and/or government application fees.
Additionally, there is an additional disclaimer at the bottom of the page that claims no connection to the government. Did you read anything on this site before handing over your credit card? You really need to be more careful about who you hand over personal / financial info to.
