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.

When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
One day, a casual acquaintance mentioned knowing a powerful clairvoyant magician named Alexander, who could see the root of problems and possessed many other extraordinary abilities, helping where others couldn't. He claimed this magician had removed a curse from him, and his life had improved in a very short time. I didn't pay it much attention, but I wrote down his contact information just in case. Luckily. Just a couple of years later, I turned to Alexander with my own problem. My wife had left me and filed for divorce. I didn't understand why or what to do. It was incredibly painful. For several months, I searched for different ways to make peace with her, but nothing worked. So, I decided to message Alexander on WhatsApp at +380971792179 and asked for a consultation. I was very impressed that I didn't even have to tell him anything – Alexander saw my problem himself and explained in detail what had happened and why. And most importantly, he explained what could be done about it. I immediately asked him to help me get my wife back. Alexander agreed. Even more surprisingly, it took him no more than three weeks – the results were delivered ahead of schedule. So if you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact Alexander. I'm confident he can help even in the most challenging situations.

I want to share my story and thank the fortune teller Martha for helping me save my family.
I want to share my story and thank the fortune teller Marfa for helping me save my family. I found her by chance, reading reviews on a Google forum where people said she really helps people. I was desperate at the time: my husband had left me for another woman, the house was empty, my heart was heavy, and I didn't know what to do. When I first turned to Marfa, I was amazed that I didn't even have to tell her anything. She explained everything herself: about the situation, our personalities, and what had happened between us. Every word she said was true. I felt that I was truly dealing with a person with a powerful gift and a big heart. Marfa performed rituals to bring my husband back and cleanse our relationship of negativity. She told me to wait a little and have faith. And so it happened: a few weeks later, my husband returned home himself, asked for forgiveness, and said he realized who he truly loves. Now there is warmth, mutual understanding, and love in our house again. I'm grateful to fate that I found Marfa just then. If you've lost hope, don't be afraid to reach out to her. She doesn't just see your situation; she feels your soul and truly helps. Her number is +380931150260, Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram.
