What the federal court recorded

In March 2023, Mil Mujeres, Inc. sued Rubic, a Russian-language outlet that had written about its Russian-language services, for defamation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and asked the court to order the articles taken down.H A magistrate judge heard witnesses and, on May 31, 2023, set out in a report the facts he found.B

Her role in the case
The report refers to “Natalya Mihhailova, who works as a paralegal for Mil Mujeres.” In the same case, Mil Mujeres filed a declaration of Natalia Mikhailova.BG
January 2023
A Russian-speaking woman at the U.S.–Mexico border was looking for a sponsor to enter the United States. A third party put her in touch with the paralegal. The court found that the paralegal offered to provide a U.S. sponsor for $800, plus a free consultation with “Mil Mujeres attorney Gary Royle.” The consultation took place on January 18, 2023.B
The agreement
After the consultation, the paralegal sent the woman a proposed retainer agreement for legal services with Mil Mujeres, with a $6,000 fee. She did not sign it and paid nothing.B
USCIS
The court took judicial notice of a USCIS warning about people who offer, for a fee, to be your sponsor or to connect you with one.BI
Conclusion
The court wrote that the hearing left it with “far more questions than answers” and that it “reaches no conclusions whatsoever” on whether these services were legal. It recommended denying Mil Mujeres’s request to restrain the publications.B

The report’s findings are preliminary: the court noted that it relied on the testimony as it recalled it, because no transcript was available yet.B As far as the public records we checked show, no court or regulator has found that Natalia Mikhailova committed any violation.

What this means if you are a client

  1. Ask in writing who your lawyer is. Only an attorney, an EOIR-accredited representative or a supervised law student may represent you before USCIS. Others, USCIS says, may help you fill out forms but cannot represent you or give you legal advice.K

  2. Ask for a copy of Form EOIR-28 or G-28. The attorney handling your case in immigration court files Form EOIR-28; before USCIS, Form G-28.LM The form shows the lawyer’s name and license number: check them in the registry of the state that issued the license.N

  3. Check your dates yourself. Enter your A-number at acis.eoir.justice.gov or call 1-800-898-7180. Go to every hearing, even if you are told you need not attend.

  4. If your agreement was with Mil Mujeres. Read the Mil Mujeres page: what happened in 2022–2023 and whom to contact now.
