In order to prevent fraud after the famous case of "Chambamex" in the state of Mexico, officials from the Fraud Prevention Office of the U.S. Consulate General in Guadalajara, offered an informative workshop on the premises of The Regional Unit State Services (UNIRSE), for the general public, however due to a lack of spreading, the event attendance was nil.

In an interview, Monica Ornelas, an analyst at the Office of Fraud Prevention of the U.S. Consulate General in Guadalajara, said that another goal of the talk was to inform the general public about processes to obtain a temporary work visa (H2A and H2B), as well as about the scams in which some people can fall when applying to the above visas.

"There are people who take advantage of people who need those jobs and who pay money to get a place or a position in any company, and maybe the person who asks for money and documents is cheating because that job does not exist. Commonly what happens is that a recruiter who provides work for a certain number of people gets there, if that person starts asking them to keep their money or documents, that can be a sign that it is fraud, because to go to work in the United States one only needs to have the job or have the job offer, one does not have to pay anything, and the recruiter should not keep the documents".

In this sense, Monica Ornelas said that the official procedure is that the employing company hires the worker, and this person makes the request to the National Migration Institute to apply for his visa at the Consulate or Embassy where he can or cannot get his visa.

To prevent cheating, the official said the person should ask in what company is he going to work and the number of request, with this data he can contact the consulate to verify that the offer is in order.
It should be noted that requests are received by the National Migration Institute.

"Migrating in the beginning of the fiscal year opens a number of jobs, and the companies ask for a certain number of workers, the exact number is handled by migration."

The event was attended by Eugenia Vignon, in charge of the Paisano Program in Guadalajara, Mónica Ornelas, analyst in the Office of Fraud Prevention of the U.S. Consulate General in Guadalajara, Javier Ramírez, head of the Fraud Prevention Office of the Consulate General of the United States in Guadalajara, Professor Xóchitl Bañuelos, in charge of the program Assistance to the Migrant in Nayarit, and the lawyer Juan Arana, northern coordinator of the Social Office.
