I believe someone's been messing with my identity, having access to my Social Security Number and driver's license. The thing is, I'm an undocumented immigrant—I came here legally, but my visa's expired now. I'm scared to report this identity theft to the police. I did call Experian to set up a Fraud Alert, but I'm not sure if that's sufficient. I read that an identity theft lawyer can help dispute these issues. But I'm not sure if I can do anything about it with my expired documents. What should I do?
Yes, you are right, a lawyer is a good option in solving various legal problems, especially in identity theft cases like yours. However, in addition to a consumer lawyer, I suggest you also contact an immigration lawyer, who can consult you on your visa-related questions. The processes can be solved much faster if you have support and someone shows you the steps that need to be taken.
