An immigration consultant, in exchange for a monetary compensation, can only provide services that are not of legal character, for example:

• Fill out an immigration form but NEVER advise you on which form to use
• Translate your answers to the questions on a form but NEVER advise you how to respond to any question on the form
• Help obtain necessary documents
• Make photocopies of your documents
• Send your documents to the immigration offices ONLY if you authorize it
