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.

I can highly recommend Andriya to all +380932169225

I have been wondering about this process for a long time, but my story, perhaps, can help someone. The man and I were over ten rocks at a time, wooing our daughter, planning for the next day. And then it’s just fun. No explanation, no scandals. Just by moving to another woman. It was such a strong blow that I almost fainted. Donka fed steadily, that’s all, but I didn’t know what the truth was. My friends wanted to let me go, to find the best. But I knew that we were one and the same, and I didn’t want to just give up. On my way out, I spent time reading about Andriy’s molfar. I wrote to the number +380932169225 on Viber and asked for a consultation. At the hour of prayer, Andriy did not eat anything. I myself described the circumstances that led to the rupture, and also named some special moments that I didn’t tell anyone about. This impressed me and transformed me into my unique gift. It's time for magical rituals to renew the bond between me and my boyfriend. You will also need to give me specific instructions about what you need to do at home. A week and a decade have passed. And then there’s a ding. A man standing in front of the door with a bouquet of flowers. There has been destruction and torment. Having said that Kohati never blamed me, but life without us was hell. He turned around. I don’t know how it’s said, but it’s said like it’s an old man. Exactly what we discussed with Andriy. Its authenticity, sensitivity and, first of all, the real power of its magical gift, deserve trust and respect. I can highly recommend Andriy to everyone.

If someone told me that I would get my ex back, I would laugh in their face.

If someone had told me I'd get my ex back, I'd have laughed in their face. But Lilia isn't just about helping, she's about subtle psychology and energy. I did everything she advised. Three weeks later, he was already liking my posts, and a month later, he was standing at the door with coffee and an apology. He's back! And now I'm keeping up the good work!

Clairvoyant Natalia Valerievna +380667493555 review

I've consulted many clairvoyants, but none have helped me as much as Natalya Valeryevna. She accurately predicted the future, including on issues I hadn't mentioned. She not only told me what awaited me, but also suggested a ritual that helped me get rid of negativity and restore harmony in my personal life. I was amazed by her accuracy and understanding of the situation. I felt better when I understood how to move forward. Now I'm sure that Natalya Valeryevna is the one who can help!

CLAIRVOYANT LILY +19297133433

My husband and I separated after six years of marriage. He left as if everything we'd built had vanished. I turned to Lilia in despair. She didn't promise "magic in a day," but after the ritual, I felt lighter, as if a burden had been lifted. A month later, he returned. A completely different person—attentive and caring. We're back together. And I know: if it weren't for Lilia, this wouldn't have happened. Her gift is real. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
