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 my husband left, I was devastated. He said he didn't love me, that he had another woman. I turned to Lilya with almost no faith... but she instilled strength in me and gave me concrete steps. Not magic, but wisdom! After a month and a half, he started calling himself, and then came for a serious conversation. Now we're back together, and most importantly, we're learning to trust each other again. Thank you, Lilya! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Martha became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself and get back what was most important to me.
When I came to Marfa, I was completely devastated. My husband had left me for his mistress, my life had fallen apart, and I was beside myself. But the most amazing thing was, I barely had to explain anything. Marfa looked at me, and I felt like she could see everything: my pain, my confusion, my fear, even what I was trying to hide from myself. She spoke so clearly, as if she were peering deep into my soul. And when she suggested performing her rituals, I felt hope for the first time in a long time. I don't know how it works, but I trusted her completely. After her work, something inside me seemed to change: I became calmer, more confident, I stopped rushing around and falling into that panic that only destroyed everything around me. And it seemed to me that the very atmosphere in the house was changing along with this... And then came what I had almost stopped believing: my husband returned. On his own, without pressure, without scandals, with remorse and a desire to return everything. We talked for a long time, opened up to each other, and gradually managed to restore our family. I can't explain how it happened. But I truly believe that thanks to Marfa's rituals and the tremendous support she gave me, everything happened. Marfa became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself, and reclaim what was most important to me. And for this, I am grateful to her with all my heart. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram

I never thought I'd be in this state. When my loved one left, it was like I was cut off from life. I'd wake up with a lump in my throat. I'd lie down and the silence would be so oppressive I wanted to scream. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just lived on autopilot. The world turned gray, as if someone had taken all the warmth from it. And then, in this state, I accidentally came across a review about a woman who helps people get out of such pits. I read and cried. And I decided to write to her, although one thing was in my head... Why? It's all over already... She asked for a photo and literally from the first words said something that sent a chill down my spine. Such things are not made up, not guessed. I sat with my phone in my hands and simply couldn't believe that someone truly heard me. I asked her for help, because inside me there was only fear and a broken heart. She said that I was not alone. And that there was a chance. And... something happened that I no longer expected. After a while, he wrote himself. He called himself. His voice was shaking... mine too. And when he stood at the door of my house, I didn’t believe that this was all not a dream. It was like coming back to life. As if I was pulled by the hand from the depths where I had already stopped fighting. I don’t know how to explain everything that happened. But I know for sure: this man became my salvation at that moment, when the world around me collapsed, and I had no more strength. I recommend a phone number for contact (+380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, also another US number +19297133433
Oh, girls, if you only knew what I went through! In the fashion world, the glitz and glamour often hide such loneliness, such uncertainty in my personal life. It seems there are so many men around, but none of them are right... I was completely desperate, thinking I'd keep swapping one man for another, until I turned to Zakhar for help. I'd heard about him from reliable sources, but, frankly, I hesitated for a long time. And from our first conversation, I realized this man wasn't like other fortune tellers or magicians. He didn't promise mountains of gold; he saw my soul, my fears, my true desires, and many details no one else could know. Zakhar pinpointed the root causes of my personal problems and offered concrete solutions. His approach was not just professional but also deeply personal. He focused on activating my inner potential and removing the barriers that were preventing me from finding the right partner. The results were immediate. Soon after we began working together, I met a man with whom I not only built a strong and happy relationship but also started a family. My husband is reliable, kind, and understanding; with him, I feel truly loved and protected. If you, like me, are tired of disappointments and are looking for true happiness, I highly recommend contacting Zakhar. He's not just a magician, he's a true wizard who restored my faith in love and gave me a true fairy tale! Write or call Zakhar at +380954248510
