Rev. October 31, 2003 USCIS Warns of Impostor Websites The USCIS reminds the public that only Websites ending with the ".gov" suffix are official government Websites. The Web address of the official USCIS Website is uscis.gov Many other non-governmental Websites (e.g., using the suffixes ".com," ".org" or ".net") provide legitimate and useful immigration-related information and services. Regardless of the content of other Websites, USCIS does not endorse, recommend or sponsor any information or material posted at any other Website besides this one. Furthermore, a few other Websites may try to mislead customers and members of the public into thinking they are official USCIS Websites. These Websites may attempt to charge you for services (such as for USCIS forms and information on immigration procedures) that are otherwise free on the USCIS or another government Website or for services that you do not receive. They also do not have access to official online immigration job application information or to official immigration job listings on USAJOBS.GOV, so be wary of sending any personal or biographical information that might be used for identity fraud/theft to these websites. If you wish to report unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam), or Internet fraud, please see the Department of Justice contact page, or go to the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, to file a complaint. NOTE: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued the following warning on December 20th, 2003:The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is advising that all prospective immigrants who bought diversity visa (DV) lottery application services from USA Immigration Services and are natives of eligible countries will need to register on their own for the 2003 DV lottery. USA Immigration Services is no longer operating, and its principals are in jail. USA Immigration Services did not process your application and you will need to register on your own (if you have not already done so). USA Immigration Services is not affiliated with the United States government.
