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 would like to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding. When my husband left me for another woman, it was a real blow. I didn't know what to do or how to move on. At that moment, I was advised to contact Lilia, and I haven't regretted it. She helped me understand the reasons behind what was happening and gave me wise advice that literally opened my eyes. After talking with her, I felt relief, calm, and the strength to fight for my happiness. Over time, the situation changed—my husband returned, our relationship improved, and our home became warm and peaceful again. Thank you, Lilia Pavlovna, for helping people not give up and find a way out when it seems all is lost. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
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.
Ever since I was a child, I've understood that many things in life happen for a reason. In my family, it was almost the norm to turn to fortune tellers, sorcerers, and people with abilities, both for personal and business matters. And many things worked out well for my parents and loved ones thanks to this. Of course, no one waited for the wind to blow or sat still trying to make money. But a little luck certainly didn't hurt. At least that's what we always said. Thanks to my parents, I received a good education, moved to another city, and started my own business. Overall, life went on as usual and without incident. But then, suddenly, acute problems began to pile up on me. In a matter of months, major losses and difficult trials followed one after another. My quiet life turned into a series of stresses and upheavals, which affected everything: my health, family relationships, and business. To the point that my wife started raising the question of divorce. And then I began to wonder if something was wrong. But it turned out I didn't have any old contacts, and the old sorcerer I'd consulted had died several years ago. So I started looking for someone to turn to. The magician Alexander eventually helped me sort everything out and put everything in order. I got his number +380971792179 through trusted sources and scheduled an appointment via WhatsApp. His level of clairvoyance and abilities really impressed me, and the results were visible quickly. Now I regularly turn to him when needed and recommend him to others.
