VAWA FRAUD IN IMMIGRATION IS WIDESPREAD IN HOUSTON
[HOUSTON, TX] On Thursday July 24, 2025 at 11am at FIEL Headquarters (4635 SW Freeway #220 Houston , TX 787027) attorneys, affected victims and FIEL spokespeople will talk about the widespread immigration fraud happening all over the US and in Houston especially VAWA fraud.
"A few months a go we started seeing an increase of immigrant people applying for VAWA. What started off as something to keep an eye on has now turned into a wide spread problem in the Houston are and around the U.S. VAWA is a program that was designed to protect victims of domestic violence. Unfortunately some attorneys have abused this system and relied on the fact that people were not getting called to interviews. Now under the current administration not only are all cases getting called to interview but once cases are denied the victims of this fraud are being put in deportation proceedings. WE demand that these fraudulent attorneys cease this practice at once and are asking for the authorities to get involved to protect this vulnerable community.
