The Strange Calls Immigration Attorneys Are Getting

“We’re Getting 2-3 of These Calls a Day.”

Immigration attorneys across the country are reporting an odd and frustrating trend—a surge in calls from people asking if they can help get someone deported.

It’s confusing. Why would anyone think an immigration attorney’s job is to remove people from the country? Yet, these calls keep coming.

Some attorneys say they’re getting them almost daily. Others report seeing similar questions pop up online—people asking how to report someone to USCIS, as if deportation were as simple as filing a complaint. One attorney even joked, “Should we all be turning in famous public figures while we’re at it?”

But it doesn’t stop there. Attorneys are also fielding calls from people wanting to:

• Bring criminal charges against someone (as if that’s an immigration matter).
• Get out of an affidavit of support they signed (as if a legal agreement can just be undone).
• Use immigration law to settle personal disputes (divorces, business rivalries, or even petty disagreements).

And sometimes, the conversations are downright disturbing. One attorney overheard a group casually discussing how one of them could “just figure out a way” to have their spouse deported. Others note an increase in whistleblower-style reports, often driven by personal grudges rather than legitimate legal concerns.

Attorneys are already balancing heavy caseloads—why waste time dealing with these irrelevant and frustrating calls?

Every Time You Answer, You Lose Valuable Minutes

Each one of these calls interrupts your workflow, taking time away from real clients—businesses needing work visas, families working through green card applications, or investors trying to secure their future in the U.S.

But ignoring calls isn’t an option either. You don’t want to risk missing out on a real client inquiry just because you’re trying to dodge nonsense calls.

That’s exactly why more and more immigration attorneys are turning to Virtual Legal Receptionists to handle their phones.
