U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched Protect America Together, a public campaign asking people to report suspected immigration fraud, abuse and activity it says threatens U.S. security or institutions. Tips can be submitted anonymously.
The push appears in agency posts from early September 2026. A September 3, 2026 news release also directed people to use the agency’s tip form to report suspected benefits fraud or abuse.

The campaign reaches beyond forged paperwork. The agency says reports may concern conduct it believes could “threaten or undermine the United States, its government, citizens, or institutions.”
Its message is aimed at people with concrete information. General complaints are not the purpose of the tip channel.
The tip categories span identity, family and employment filings
The agency’s public list covers several types of suspected misconduct:
- Document fraud, including fake or altered documents
- Identity fraud, including using another person’s identity
- Marriage fraud and visa fraud
- Asylum fraud
- Employment fraud involving H-1B, H-2B and EB-5 cases
The categories touch filings made by applicants as well as cases involving employers and family relationships. The agency also says the reporting channel covers activities it considers a threat to U.S. institutions.
That is the scope of the public request. It does not make every disagreement over an application evidence of fraud.
The online channel accepts anonymous tips and supporting material
People can submit suspected fraud information through an online reporting channel, and they do not have to identify themselves. The portal accepts supporting documents and images.
A tipster who provides contact information may receive follow-up questions. Specific, credible details give investigators information they can assess; an unsupported suspicion or broad grievance is not the same as a concrete report.
The reporting option is separate from the responsibility applicants have when preparing their own cases. Forms, statements and supporting letters should contain accurate information.
Applicants should check filings and watch for pressure to misstate facts
The campaign is relevant to NRIs, Indian nationals and other foreign nationals in the United States who file or sponsor H-1B, H-2B, EB-5, marriage-based, asylum or other immigration applications. Their records can include employment details, identity documents and evidence of family relationships.
The agency’s guidance also points to employers, agents, consultants and law firms that promise fast approvals or ask clients to provide false information. Pressure from a recruiter, consultant or employer to change facts should be treated as a serious risk.
Applicants should review documents, job descriptions and worksite details for accuracy. Marriage-based cases also rely on relationship evidence, while identity records should correctly identify the person involved.
Keep copies of filed forms and receipts, along with employer letters, pay records and identity documents. Those records can help applicants check what was submitted and resolve questions about their own filings.
False or incomplete information should not appear in a petition, application or supporting letter. The same standard applies when another person prepares or submits material on an applicant’s behalf.
The agency’s September 3, 2026 release gave a direct instruction: “To report suspected immigration benefit fraud or abuse to USCIS, please use the USCIS Tip Form.”
