NEWEST IN IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION

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.

How I Got My Husband Back: A True Review of a Fortune Teller

Ladies, I want to share my story. My husband left me after 10 years of marriage, and it was like a different person. I tried many people, but only Natalia really helped. She doesn't just guess; she gets to the heart of the matter. She said things no one knew about. She helped clear up the negativity that had been cast upon us, and my husband returned to the family after just three weeks! I couldn't believe it myself. I'm leaving her number for anyone who really needs help with love: +19297404563.
 

Thanks to Lilia for her support!

I turned to clairvoyant Lilia on a friend's recommendation when my relationship was about to fall apart. I didn't expect her words to have such a profound impact. After her consultation, I became calmer, learned to respond appropriately to many situations, and within just a couple of weeks, my husband and I began to grow closer. Now our home is warm and peaceful again. Thank you, Lilia, for your support! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
 

I will buy old copper one-cent (ONE CENT) coins.

For a large art project, I'll buy old one-cent coins. At a 1:3 ratio (I pay 3 cents for one copper cent). At the bank, they'll change it 1:1. I need about 11,000-12,000 pieces. Only old copper cents. I'll pay in cash.
 

The clairvoyant was very helpful +38099-292-71-82 Viber

I'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.
 

THE CLAIRVOYANT WAS A GREAT HELPFUL

After my husband cheated on me, I didn't know how to move on. My soul was broken, my heart in tatters. I lost faith in myself and in love. I turned to Lilia, even though I hadn't previously believed in magic or clairvoyants. But from the very first words, I felt that she understood me and truly wanted to help. She said there was still a connection between us and recommended several rituals. My husband returned three weeks later—he came with flowers and tears in his eyes. Now we're seeing a family psychologist, working on our relationship. But all of this was only possible thanks to Lilia. She was the first to say, "You're not alone." I thank her from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
