A Colorado business that allegedly advertised itself across the country as an "expert team of professionals" dealing with immigration questions has been ordered to stop engaging in deceptive trade practices, according to Colorado Attorney General John Suthers.

The business, called the Immigration Center, allegedly charged from $300 to $700 for immigration forms that are free from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The Colorado attorney general's office alleged that the Colorado Springs-based Immigration Center either posed as a government agency or claimed an affiliation with a government agency.

The Immigration Center allegedly began engaging in the practices in 2007.
