This is a scam. People want your money. Be alert. KCC never accepts forms by email.

What is the purpose of these fraudulent websites and emails?
Some of these fraudulent organizations may require payment for immigration and visa services. If payment is made to a non-governmental source, this payment is not received by the U.S. government and does not apply toward visa processing. Sometimes these costs are for information or forms that are otherwise available for free on official U.S. government websites. Additionally, these imposter websites and emails cannot provide the services they advertise and for which they require payment. For example, many fraudulent emails promise U.S. visas or “green cards” in return for a large fee. These non-governmental, unofficial organizations are not able to provide these services. These services can only be obtained from official U.S. government entities, such as the Department of State, a U.S. embassy or consulate, or the Department of Homeland Security. Finally, be wary of providing any personal information through these fraudulent websites and emails, since such action that could result in identity fraud or theft. Visa applicants are strongly advised to be cautious in all dealings with non-governmental companies that claim to offer any assistance in obtaining U.S. visas.


How do I report internet fraud or unsolicited email?
If you wish to file a complaint about internet fraud, please see visit econsumer.gov, which is a joint effort of consumer protection agencies from 17 nations, hosted by the Federal Trade Commission. You can also visit the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) website. To file a complaint about unsolicited email, contact the Department of Justice.

Thanks raevsky. So will KCC send us the forms by mail or will be download it from the website.

If so, the expiration dates on forms are already past dates.

Isn't there a problem here?
 
KCC will never send you any forms by email. If someone told you KCC would do that, that is a scam.
Official form DS-230 http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/81807.pdf is valid until 6/30/2015

Form dSP_122 never expires. Answer form a lawyer:

http://www.justanswer.com/immigrati...ly-available-state-gov-expired-3-31-2013.html

Customer Question
dsp-122 currently available on state.gov expired 3-31-2013. Do you know where to find a more recent/cuurent one?

Answer from a lawyer:
Just use that form. They don't really "expire". And often even when they new forms come out (which can take years), they often allow using the old ones for many months or ever years as well as the new ones. So just use that one.

Do not hesitate to report if someone told you to send your forms by email. Someone is offering you an illegal scheme
