http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e
美国各州都有禁止 Unauthorized Practice of Law 的法律。
很多州有专门禁止 Unauthorized Practice of Immigration Law 的法律。
例如，Florida规定，Unauthorized Practice of Law is a Third Degree Felony,
punishable by five (5) years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.00.

What constitutes the unlicensed practice of law in immigration matters?
In the area of immigration, the only assistance that a non-lawyer can provide to another person is to sell forms and/or type information provided to him or her in writing.
This means that if a customer completes an immigration form in writing, the non-lawyer can then type it verbatim. He or she cannot recommend any changes and cannot recommend what relief can be sought. The non-lawyer cannot provide any advice or legal assistance.
(As noted by Jacquelyn P. Needelman, the Florida Bar Unauthorized Practice of Law Counsel in Miami)
按照宾州 Bar Association 的解释
The Pennsylvania Bar Association Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL)
Committee finds:
Notaries public, visa consultants or any other person who is not a licensed
attorney or authorized representative pursuant to federal regulations may
not engage in the representation of persons as defined in federal
immigration regulations. The scope of the term “representation" is a very
broad one. It includes activities which range from incidentally preparing
papers for a person, selecting the appropriate government forms, to giving a
person advice about his or her case, or to appearing before immigration
officials on behalf of a person.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) plans to launch an
initiative to combat this exploitative practice by:
Supporting enforcement action against those who engage in the unauthorized
practice of immigration law
The unauthorized practice of immigration law occurs when those who are not
attorneys or accredited representatives:
Hold themselves out to be qualified in legal matters;
Provide legal assistance to applicants or petitioners in immigration matters
Charge more than a nominal fee
