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 thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help me—she saved the most precious thing I had.
When my life was falling apart and my heart was breaking with pain and despair, I came to Varya, the molfarka, as my last hope. The world around me seemed to have gone dark, my wife had become distant, our house was empty. It seemed as if love was gone forever. Varya greeted me calmly, with that quiet strength that can be felt even in silence. She stared for a long time into the crackling fire in her hut, as if she saw something I couldn't comprehend. With her first words, peace entered me, and with the first rituals, a feeling that everything could still be restored. Several days passed, and it was as if fate itself had turned its face. My wife suddenly began to seek communication, open up, and remember the good times. A thread of warmth reappeared between us, and soon, true intimacy. The shadows of the past dissipated, and the connection we had once lost was reborn stronger, purer, more honest. I still can't explain how it happened. But it was after meeting Varya that my family found a second life. Her wisdom, strength, and ability to listen to a person's soul made the impossible possible. I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help—she saved what was most precious to me. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I'm a backend developer. My life was all about structure, algorithms, and clear cause-and-effect relationships. And then, a year and a half ago, this algorithm failed. At work, I was in a stupor, projects were burning out, even though the code was perfect. At home, it was cold, there were arguments out of nowhere, and the apartment felt like it smelled of mold, even though it was clean. On the outside, I was a successful IT specialist, but on the inside, I was a wreck. I tried therapy, a change of routine, and exercise—nothing. It was as if an invisible barrier was holding me back. Then, in the smoking room, a casual acquaintance I'd only seen once in my life suddenly started telling me how Zakhar had gotten his wife back. Naturally, I chuckled to myself, but his eyes… They sparkled with such sincerity that I decided: I have nothing to lose but time and need to get his contact information. I messaged Zakhar on WhatsApp at +380954248510 and asked for a consultation. For me, it was an experiment. But Zakhar impressed me so much with his abilities! He's truly a clairvoyant, able to see a person's life as if he'd lived it himself. Right down to the details. I didn't even have to tell him anything—Zakhar saw my problems himself, explained their origins, and offered options. I asked Zakhar for help. The work lasted several weeks. But during the process, for the first time in a long time, I felt lighter. It was as if a virus had been draining my system of resources. What next? A month later, I was promoted and given a dream project, one I'd once nipped in the bud. Home? I woke up one day and felt as if I loved my wife as much as I had the first year. All the arguments disappeared, replaced by peace and humor. I still don't know how to explain it scientifically. But as a troubleshooting specialist, I can say that Zakhar found and fixed a bug that no other tool could detect. He's a true master of debugging fate. I recommend him to anyone tired of fighting invisible resistance. Recommendation from IT Specialist: Zakhar (Magical Help) Field of expertise: Software development, 12 years of experience. Name: Igor R. I approach life and work purely rationally. Therefore, when a period of inexplicable setbacks began in my life—a key deal gone awry, constant conflicts in personal relationships, a sudden deterioration in health—I initially attributed it to stress and burnout. However, no standard methods (vacation, vitamins, medical examinations) produced results. I contacted him after a chance encounter with a man who openly shared how the magician Zakhar had helped him restore his family, bringing his wife back after a seemingly final divorce. With my level of skepticism, this sounded incredible, but I decided to consider it an unconventional, extreme method. Contacting Zakhar and his work: Zakhar didn't promise miracles or use dubious paraphernalia. The diagnosis was precise and concise: the presence of negative energy-informational influence (damage) affecting my career and personal life. The "cleansing" process was gradual and took several weeks. Key results (objective changes): 1. Career: Within two months of completing my work with Zakhar, I not only managed to restore the broken deal but also received a promotion offer with increased responsibility. The feeling of "tilting at windmills" at work completely disappeared. 2. Personal Life: Tension in our relationship that had been lingering for months was resolved within a week. My wife and I were able to return to constructive dialogue and harmony, without any apparent external reasons for such a dramatic positive shift. 3. General Condition: The constant feeling of anxiety and physical heaviness disappeared. I can't explain Zakhar's actions from a scientific perspective, but I can confirm their high effectiveness. For those who, like me, value concrete results, Zakhar is a specialist capable of solving problems inaccessible to standard logical or psychological approaches. Based on my personal experience and that of the friend who recommended me, I offer this recommendation.
My husband left me for a younger woman, leaving me with two children and a mortgage. I was at rock bottom. Lilya helped me pick myself up and taught me how to act when he showed up. After two months, he started helping, then asked to meet up, and now we're living together again. He says he's realized who he truly loves. "Lilya, you saved my family."
