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.

Thank you, Lilia, for your help, support, and the strength you bring to our work! You've given me back not only my husband, but also my faith in miracles.
I want to leave a sincere review of the wonderful clairvoyant Lilia. When my husband left our family, I was devastated. We had been together for many years, and his sudden decision to leave simply knocked the wind out from under me. I tried everything: talking, advice from friends, psychologists—nothing helped. At some point, I was advised to contact Lilia. At first, I was hesitant—after all, the topic of esotericism had previously been far from me. But something inside told me to give it a try. From the first consultation, Lilia inspired confidence in me. She didn't ask unnecessary questions; she immediately told me things only I knew. She performed a cleansing, a relationship-restoration ritual, and gave several personal recommendations. A couple of weeks later, my husband started contacting me. He seemed different: calmer, as if he realized he truly wanted to be with me. Now we are back together, and our relationship has entered a new, deeper and more sincere stage. Thank you, Lilia, for your help, support, and the strength with which you work! You have given me back not only my husband, but also my faith in miracles. I will leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433

Thank you, Lilia, for giving me hope and faith! When my husband stopped answering his calls and we grew distant, I was in despair. Lilia helped me understand what was happening and how to fix it. Thanks to her recommendations and rituals, our marriage became strong and warm again. I'm so happy I turned to you! I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
Varya is a bright person. She didn't just bring her husband back; she helped bring his family back. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram).
Honestly, I didn't used to believe in molfars or any rituals. I always thought they were nonsense, self-hypnosis, and all that. But when my husband left the family, leaving me with a child and a bunch of questions about why, I was ready to grasp at any straw. We'd been together for eight years, and then suddenly there was coldness, alienation, another woman... I was simply beside myself. A friend recommended that I contact the molfarka Varya. She said she doesn't perform black magic, but works through the energy of the family line and cleanses relationships. I wrote to her with distrust, even a little shame. But Varya immediately spoke kindly, explaining that everything can be fixed if there are feelings, it's just that everything is confused right now. She performed a ritual to restore the connection, gave me advice on how to behave, what words to say, what not to do. And most importantly, she calmed me down. Within a few days, I felt as if a burden had been lifted from my soul. A couple of weeks later, my husband wrote to me himself. Then he came. We talked calmly, without tears or shouting. Now we live together, and I see that he's my warm, caring self again, as if all the bad has disappeared. I don't know how it works, but after Varya, there's peace in the house again, the child is happy, and every day I thank fate that I decided to write to her. Varya is a bright person. She didn't just bring my husband back, she helped bring our family back. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
Molfar Andriy is amazing at creating. Chula from other people's words, but I myself confirmed it with someone. It is really great happiness that such people with guilt like Andriy exist. I will ruin my homeland if the person is at home. I know a lot of people at home and in other situations. You can solve people’s problems in the same way that they were caused, in a way that you can help in any way. It doesn’t matter to verify it. Write to me on WhatsApp at +380932169225 and ask for a consultation. And you will be happy.
