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.

Guys, I turned to many people, but I didn’t see any particular results…. I really needed help, I went to old women, fortune tellers, but none of it worked for me. I needed to get my husband back into the family. We had a good, happy family, many people even envied us. But one day my husband began to change dramatically, he became irritable, only negative from him. He began to sleep separately, I tried to talk to him, to understand what was happening to him. But he didn’t make contact. One evening he came home from work and said, “I’m leaving you,” without a reason or explanation…. He packed his things and left. I was left alone with the child, something went wrong, but I didn’t understand what was wrong with him. I was in tears and depressed, I started going to fortune tellers, ordering rituals, but without results. Until I found the number of one woman. I called her on WhatsApp, did diagnostics, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by her words. She said such things about us, real situations. She sees from the photo, the information comes to her, but she also looks at the cards and wax additionally. Her name is Evdokia, she knows her business, I asked her for help, and I did not regret it. The person really has a gift! She gave me the result in a matter of days, everything as promised. I am very grateful to her, a very clever woman. I will recommend her to everyone. This is not an advertisement, I am a review and gratitude for the good work done. We are together again and happy.

My husband and I lived together for 10 years... I believed that we had a strong family, that the difficulties we had gone through together had only hardened us. But everything collapsed suddenly. He changed... became cold, distant... And then I found out about her. A mistress. Young, daring, without a shred of conscience. She called me brazenly, laughed, threw insults in my face. She was destroying my family, my soul, my life. I cried at night, prayed, did not know why all this was happening to me. The pain was so strong that it seemed I simply could not stand it. The last hope was the fortune teller Martha, whom a friend told me about. I came to her, broken, with my hands down. And she looked at me and understood everything without words. I did not have to say anything... she herself told me about our life. Calmly, with kindness, she began to work. I did a love spell on that woman, a cleansing... and most importantly, I brought my husband back to the family. He came. With tears. With remorse. He said that he was in a fog, as if under someone else's influence. Now he is nearby, holding my hand, hugging our daughter. And I... I still can't believe that this is my life again. Thank you Marfa! She saved my family! Saved me! Her number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I still can't hold back my tears when I remember the despair in which I came to Svetlana. My husband left me for another woman. It all happened so quickly... one day he was there, and the next he said there was no more love. I couldn't breathe from the pain, I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I simply existed. One question lingered in my head: why? I was advised to contact the clairvoyant Svetlana—a woman with a gift who helps through wax. I didn't know what to expect, but I decided I had nothing to lose. From the first minutes of my conversation, I felt that this was not just a person, but a true clairvoyant. She listened attentively to me, looked at the situation through a wax casting... and what she saw struck me deeply. Svetlana said that a shadow had passed between my husband and me... the evil eye, interference, someone else's energy. Everything she described matched every detail, even things I hadn't told anyone. Svetlana began working with me through wax, prayers, and energy cleansing. I remember trembling as she poured hot wax into water, and how everything manifested in these strange shapes: pain, resentment, betrayal, even that woman's face. It was like magic and truth all at once. Only a couple of weeks passed, and my husband started contacting me. Cautiously at first, then it was as if he broke through. He asked for forgiveness, saying it was as if he'd woken up. He'd come home. Now he looks at me with the same warmth he did all those years ago. We've become closer than we were before that nightmare. Svetlana didn't just give me my husband back—she gave me herself back, our love, our family. Svetlana isn't just a sorceress, she's a savior. I don't know how to thank her for what she's done. If you're on edge right now, if the pain is tearing your soul apart, don't wait. Turn to her. This person works real miracles.
