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 was sitting on the train, tears streaming down my cheeks, my heart breaking. My boyfriend, the love of my life, had left. Not just left, but for his ex! I knew, I felt, that something was wrong. He couldn't have gone crazy so suddenly. And then a fellow passenger, an elderly, wise woman, carefully asked what had happened. I told her everything, and after listening, she quietly said it looked like a love spell. She recommended a powerful clairvoyant magician. According to her, he had helped more than one of her friends in even more difficult situations. I thought about it, but wrote down the phone number. Desperation pushed me to take this step. Using the phone number, I found many good reviews about Zakhar online. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a meeting. He was completely different from what I had imagined – calm, insightful, incredibly wise. I was shocked that I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar is such a powerful clairvoyant that he was able to tell me everything himself. My worst fears about a powerful love spell were only confirmed. Zakhar agreed to take the job. Within days, my boyfriend made contact, and his behavior began to change. He started calling, seeking meetings, and his gaze returned to its former, warm and loving expression. And then the incredible happened! My beloved came to me with a ring and proposed. I cried with happiness! Now we are married and live in mutual understanding. I am grateful to fate for that travel companion and, of course, for the magician Zakhar, who restored our happiness. He didn't just give me back my boyfriend; he gave me back my life! Zakhar's number is +380954248510

I didn't think I'd ever turn to a clairvoyant, but my marriage situation required decisive steps.

I contacted Lilya because my boyfriend suddenly cooled off, even though it was serious. Lilya immediately said that "love's path is closed" to us and advised performing a ritual to restore the connection. I agreed. A couple of weeks later, he came back and admitted he couldn't stop thinking about me. We're back together and planning our wedding. Thank you, Lilya, for the happiness! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
I am very grateful to Lilia for her wisdom and support!
Lilia is a real find! I didn't believe in clairvoyance, but when my husband left me for another woman, I decided to try everything to get him back. Lilia immediately sensed what was holding us back and helped me work on myself and our relationship. After just a couple of months, my husband started showing concern and came home. I'm so grateful to Lilia for her wisdom and support! I'm contacting her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
