There are positive changes in immigration policy, but there are no new immigration programs to apply for. The new year and the new federal administration brought good news about changes in immigration policy. President Biden and Congress have introduced new bills that provide important steps to bolster a disrupted immigration system and offer stability, fairness and citizenship to millions of immigrants in the country. These are critical changes, and it's no coincidence that New Yorkers are so excited about the news. At the same time, however, we must warn city dwellers to understand what these new trends can mean for them and their families and to beware of immigration fraud. There are many ways to protect yourself and your loved ones. Below we provide information that New Yorkers need to know to avoid immigration fraud. There are no new visas or applications to fill out. While we are pleased with the new positive trends in national immigration policy, New Yorkers should remember that there are currently no legislative changes, and therefore no new ways of obtaining citizenship have emerged. Some immigration service providers, such as notaries or dishonest lawyers, may try to take advantage of the post-news mess by offering immigrants living in New York City applications for non-existent visas or other unavailable legal benefits. How do I get free, safe immigration legal assistance? For more information and answers to questions about the latest trends in immigration policy, New Yorkers can contact ActionNYC at 800-354-0365, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. ActionNYC offers city-funded, free and secure immigration legal assistance, including due diligence on immigration status and legal representation through a network of trusted community organizations. Help is provided in your language and includes information about other community resources and support services. ActionNYC services are available to all New Yorkers - immigration status doesn't matter. Only lawyers and accredited representatives, such as those working for non-profit organizations in the ActionNYC network, can provide legal advice on immigration matters or represent you in your immigration case. Scammers can promise green cards and other immigration benefits to get your money back. In particular, it is common for notaries or consultants to promise to help because they have an easy way to get a green card quickly (for example, through new bills from the Biden administration), or claim to have special influence over the immigration authorities. You shouldn't believe such promises. Lawyers and accredited representatives should always be honest with you about the options available and the risks involved, even if the news is disappointing. Here are some tips to avoid cheating: Do not sign blank or partially completed immigration forms and always read them carefully before signing. Remember, you are responsible for all documents you sign that are submitted to government agencies. Do not give the originals of your documents to anyone, only copies. Make copies of all forms submitted to government agencies on your behalf. Ask for a receipt showing the name, surname, and address of your service provider and the services you receive. If in doubt, consult another professional. Are you a victim of fraudulent activities? If you think someone is trying to cheat you, you can file a complaint. To do this, call 311 and say "immigration service provider" or visit the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) website at nyc.gov/ dcwp to file a complaint in your language. You do not need to provide your first name, last name or immigration status to file a complaint. Additional resources to help avoid cheating, including a resource guide in your language, can be found at nyc.gov/immigrantfraud. We continue to advocate for critical changes in immigration policy and want every New Yorker to enjoy the right to find and receive reliable information resources and the support they need.

I want to recommend a strong magician +380984558444
Girls, I want to recommend a strong magician and healer Tatyana. My story is difficult: my husband began to change - he became cold, angry, stopped communicating with me and the children. After a while, I found out that he had a mistress. And the worst thing is that she really cast a spell. I felt it on myself - I started getting sick, insomnia, it was hard to breathe in the house. I was looking for help for a long time, and in one group they recommended Tatyana to me. She immediately said: there is a love spell on my husband, and a block on me. She did a cleansing, rituals, gave protection. In just a few days, I felt as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. And a couple of weeks later, my husband became different - as if he became himself again. Now we are together, everything is getting better. I didn’t even think that such things work until I encountered it myself. Who is in a similar situation - I highly recommend it. Here is her number: +38 0984558444 Viber
Lilia isn't just a clairvoyant. She's someone who sees the essence. She immediately sensed what was going on in my family, even though I barely told her anything. Conflicts, misunderstandings, resentments—everything surfaced in our conversation. With her, I went through an energy correction, cleansing, and, most importantly, I received support that no one else could give. Thanks to her, my husband and I were able to have a real conversation and not just "glue" our marriage together, but rebuild it on a new level. Thank you, Lilia. You saved my family. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
I turned to different people, but only Lilia really helped.
I reached out to a variety of people, but only Lilia truly helped. She didn't promise the impossible; she simply said, "Give me some time." And indeed, within a few days, my husband started texting me, then came home. It's a true miracle! Thank you, Lilia, for your kindness and strength! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I don't understand how Lilia felt it, but she gave me my family back. And more importantly, she gave me hope.
When I came to Lilya, I was in such a state that I couldn't even speak properly—there was a lump in my throat the whole time. My husband left, slamming the door, saying he was tired. I thought it was the end. Lilya gently took my hand and said, "You'll see his smile again next to you." And two weeks later, he really did come back. He sat down across from me and, his voice shaking, admitted that he missed me every minute. I don't understand how Lilya felt it, but she gave me back my family. And most importantly, she gave me hope. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
