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 am very grateful to Marfa for her help, wisdom, and sincere attitude. She's not just a fortune teller, but a person with a true gift and a kind heart. I recommend her to anyone who's confused or lost hope; Marfa really does help! I'll leave her number a
I'd like to share my experience of turning to the fortune teller Marfa. Honestly, I went to her out of desperation; my relationship with my husband was crumbling before my eyes. He had grown cold and distant, and there were constant arguments and misunderstandings in the house. A friend recommended Marfa, saying she truly sees everything for herself and doesn't force anything unnecessary on anyone. Indeed, as soon as I went to see her, Marfa immediately explained everything herself! I didn't need a single unnecessary hint from her. She accurately described what was happening in the family, what was on my husband's mind, and even mentioned details no one else knew. This truly surprised me and inspired confidence. Marfa explained why this had happened, what was hindering our mutual understanding, and suggested harmonizing our relationship. She did everything very carefully, kindly, and without pressure. Within a couple of weeks, I began to notice changes: my husband began calling, asking how I was, then he started coming home, and he became softer and more caring. Now there's peace, warmth, and respect between us again, as if everything has been renewed. I'm so grateful to Marfa for her help, wisdom, and sincere attitude. She's not just a fortune teller, but a person with a true gift and a kind heart. I recommend her to anyone who's confused or lost hope; Marfa really does help! I'll leave her number: +380931150260, Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram.
Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength and genuine help.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia for her help and support during the most difficult period of my life. When it seemed that the family was falling apart and there was no hope left, it was Lilia who helped bring harmony and love back into our relationship. My husband left the family, but after the ritual and her wise advice, everything began to change for the better. Lilia works very subtly, with soul and attention. She immediately sensed the root of the problem, explained what needed to be done, and supported me at every stage. Now peace, love, and mutual understanding reign in our home again, and my relationship with my husband has become even stronger than before. Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength, and genuine help. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
My husband left after 7 years of marriage. Without explanation. Said: "I'm tired." I went through hell. Didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't want to live... I saw Lily's video on TikTok. She spoke simply, but it was as if she looked into my eyes... I wrote. She responded immediately. A week later, my husband came back. He asked to start from scratch. Now we are together. We laugh. We hug. He says: "I realized how much I need you." If it weren't for Lily, I would have been alone. Thank you, Lily, for giving us - women - hope. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
