How To Become an Immigration Consultant in California

In this video, I go through how to register as an Immigration Consultant in California with the Secretary of State. I talk about the Business and Professions Code, the Surety Bond, the Disclosure form, and the CA Bond Search feature. Edit: @ 5:43, The correct website is USCIS.gov

I will be applying for my surety bond by the end of this month. Thank you for sharing this information. I lost my last job because of the pandemic so this will be a new opportunity for me. Again thank you.

Elizabeth is there a website or any in person training available to learn how to complete form correctly?

Love short information videos ..good job

Your video is very complete. What you don't mention however is how expensive the 100K bond is. I have seen bond cost as low as $ 4, 000.00 and as high as $ 8, 000.00. And that is only for two years. Credit histories MUST be MINT, meaning over 775 to even get in the range of $ 3-4, 000.00. Then again, it only lasts for two years. FURTHER, as I have learned having a Notary Bonds, LDA Bonds, Process Server Bonds for years with absolutely no claims, this mean nothing. So, while the idea of a Immigration Consultant is a fine idea, it is truly out of reach for most.

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for the very informational video! Is there a specific order on how to do the steps? Like can I do background check first and then file everything or file everything and then the background check comes at the end? Like is there a specific order to follow? And love the name Immigration Perspectives by the way.
