Reporting Individuals Working on a Tourist Visa in the U.S.
There are several things you can do if you need to report someone who is working in the US on a tourist visa. Calling the ICE Homeland Security Investigations tip line at 1-866-347-2423 is one of the most direct ways to report something. If you’re calling from the US or Canada, press 4 to get help in Spanish. You can call them at +1-802-872-6199 if you are calling from another country.
Online Reporting Options
The official website of the U.S. Government says that you can also use the online (English) ICE information form to report a violation of immigration law. Should you wish to remain anonymous, all you have to do is fill out the required fields, which are marked with an asterisk (*).
The Risks of Working Without Proper Documentation
A lot of people work in the country without the right papers or while their immigration status is still being processed, but it’s important to know the risks. If you are caught, you could be deported and lose any visas you have. Being banned from applying for a visa again in the near future is another consequence.
