ANNOUNCEMENT: No more unverified posts by attorneys
Hi friends,
Effective immediately, *no one claiming to be an attorney may post here without approval from the moderation team.* Any such posts will be removed by the most half-assed, aggressive automod rule I could come up with while washing dishes.
## Why?
We’ve seen a surge in posts by individuals claiming to be immigration attorneys over the last month. Some of these individuals identified themselves upon request. Most did not. This cannot continue, so we’re banning such posts.
## So what?
- Would you trust legal advice from a stranger on the internet? I wouldn’t and you shouldn’t either.
- This subreddit is for humans to discuss US immigration. We aren’t here to provide free lead generation services to lawyers or identity thieves. Note: these are two separate groups.
## But I’m a lawyer, I swear
Cool. Send a note to the mod team. Include a picture of your bar card, and your Reddit username written (NOT typed - written on paper) next to it. If we can verify you, you’ll get attorney flair and be permitted to post.

Thanks for your eyeballs and attention.
