My experience has been very similar to most of the people on this forum. I have been filing my immigration form for years now and have never had a problem. Now that I had to renew my EAD, I searched in google rather than typing in USCIS.gov, I got directed to this site which is intentionally made to look like an official government site. Nowhere on this site does it state that they would be ‘filing the papers on your behalf' or ‘this is only a helpful widget for you to file papers'. Both of these are responses I received from a phone representative of American Immigration Service or US-immigration.com. Upon calling, I was able to get a 50% refund on a $159 service charge but I'd like to point out that this is a real scam. If I were to file my application on USCIS.gov, it takes 4 clicks instead of 3 (on this site). I'm not sure what exactly these guys do (other than scamming people) to make the process of filing easier? I was charged an up font fee of $159 with a label of I-765 filing fee which gives a direct implication that I'll be paying for filing the application. After completing the application I was charged an additional fee of $380 which goes to USCIS. As if there aren't enough corrupt and conniving immigration lawyers out there, they've created these ‘widgets' to squeeze us even more.
I'll be reporting them to Better Business Bureau to hopefully reduce the number of people who'd fall for this scam.
