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.

Clairvoyant New York

Hey girls, I decided to write because I used to spend all night reading forums and looking for real reviews. I turned to Anastasia when everything in my life was going wrong—constant arguments, anxiety, a feeling like I was jinxed. She did a diagnosis, looked at my cards, and immediately told me things I'd never told anyone. She said there was negativity. After the cleansing, I really felt better—the heaviness went away, I felt calmer, and even my sleep improved. She works very carefully, without any intimidation or "I urgently need another ritual." She explains everything calmly. I'm leaving my contact information in case anyone needs it: 8906 6204170 (Max WhatsApp Telegram) Instagram: www.instagram.com/gadanie_anastia_3388
 

Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness I was afraid I'd forever belong to. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

I thought I died the day my husband left. For seven months I existed, but didn't live... an empty house, an empty bed, an empty soul. I cried so much that my voice was gone. I was silent so much that my heart screamed. Everything was crumbling. When I came to the molfarka VARYA, I was broken. I didn't believe in myself, or in love, or in miracles. Varya simply put her hand on mine and said quietly: You will still see the light. I didn't believe it... but I grabbed onto her words like a drowning man grabs the air. And suddenly everything began to change. First inside me. Then around me. And then... after seven long months of silence, he knocked on the door. My husband. He stood there with red eyes and said: Forgive me. I want to go home. I fell on his chest and cried like I'd never cried in my life. This was the return of not just a man, this was the return of my destiny. Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness to which I was already afraid to belong forever.

How can I stop my husband from going out? Healer Tatyana helped me. 0984558444

I want to leave a review about Tatyana, who literally saved my nerves and my marriage. My husband is a handsome man and has always had plenty of girlfriends, but in the last year he's become completely brazen, constantly cheating, flirting, and partying until the early hours. I was completely exhausted, forgiving, crying, but I knew it would soon end in divorce. On the advice of a friend, I wrote to Tatyana on Telegram. I currently live in New York and couldn't travel to see her in person, so we worked from a photograph. Tatyana performed a ritual for his fidelity and protection from other women, so that he would simply not be attracted to anyone but me. And guess what? It's like a different husband! He's become a homebody, spends every evening with me, no longer hides his phone, and doesn't even look at other women. Tatyana is a great help from a distance; she has a real gift. I recommend her to anyone with an unfaithful husband! Her number is 0984558444.
 

I am extremely grateful to Matrona for her support, participation and help when my faith in happiness had almost faded.

I never thought I'd find myself in this situation. The man I loved more than life itself became a stranger. He was increasingly late, avoided conversation, and then left me for another woman. It was a real blow. I stopped sleeping, eating, and enjoying life. It seemed like happiness was lost forever. In utter despair, I turned to the clairvoyant Matrona. To be honest, I had my doubts at first, but after the first conversation, I felt like I was talking to someone who truly saw much more than others. Matrona described my situation very accurately and told me what was happening in my relationship. After her help, things began to unfold in a surprising way. The man, who hadn't even wanted to talk to me for months, began seeking out contact himself. Gradually, the influence of the other woman faded, and conflicts and misunderstandings ceased. After some time, he returned home. Now we are back together and making plans for the future. After everything I've been through, I especially appreciate every day with the man I love. I am extremely grateful to Matrona for her support, participation, and help when my faith in happiness had almost faded. Her number is +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
