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.

Fortune teller Maria sees even what I hid from myself
I ordered a fortune telling about my personal life from Maria. I just wanted to understand what to expect next, because everything in the relationship was at a standstill. Maria told me not only about the situation, but also about my own blocks that were getting in the way - and at that moment I even burst into tears, because everything was true. Her words were very accurate, but without judgment. It was as if a mirror was put in front of me. She predicted that within two months a new person would come into my life. And so it happened. We met by chance - and everything went as if by intuition. Maria does not make empty promises, she speaks to the point, for real. Her number is +1 847 313 0212
You hold in your hands not just a text, but the key to the answers you've long sought. I am Lilia, a clairvoyant with a gift passed down to me through the female line. Since childhood, I have seen what is hidden from view and sensed what has not yet happened.

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." Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
If it weren't for Lilia, I simply wouldn't have survived...
I couldn't bring myself to write for a long time, but remembering how I was looking for at least one hope, I decided to share it anyway. My name is Tatyana. I was married for 8 years. Love since college. We've been through it all: poverty, rented apartments, loans, miscarriages, tears. But we held on. Together. Always. Until he started staying late at work. Then - cold in his eyes. Silence. Then he said: "I don't love you. It's all over." It seemed to me that I was going crazy. I was going from one extreme to another. I was looking for someone to blame in myself. I couldn't breathe, eat, live. I felt that he still loved me, something just happened. But he was like a stranger. A friend of mine recommended Liliya to me, who had also gone through the same thing. I wrote to her with trembling hands. She answered right away. "He didn't leave. He's lost. But if you're ready to go all the way, I'll help." We had several sessions. She did a cleansing. I read spells, burned candles. I cried, falling asleep with a prayer in my heart. And one morning he just... arrived. Without words. Without explanations. Knelt down. Hugged. "Forgive me. Forgive me. It was as if something was holding me. I was not myself. I want to come back. If you are still waiting..." I waited. And waited. Now he is more caring than ever. Flowers, kind words, he even started talking about a second child. Lily - you are an angel. Not just a woman, not just a clairvoyant. You are like a mother who carefully pulled me out of a hole. If you are suffering now and do not know where to go - go to Lily. She will not let you drown.

I turned to clairvoyant Lilia at a time when it seemed like our relationship was finally falling apart. There was too much unspoken communication, resentment, and silence in the house. I didn't know how to restore the warmth that once existed between us. Lilia helped me look at the situation differently—understand my feelings, listen to my partner, and stop fighting when gentleness was needed. After her consultation, I began to change my attitude, and it was as if the atmosphere in our family gradually began to change. We began talking more, listening more attentively, looking for compromises rather than reasons to argue. Today, I feel that love is returning to our home. We spend time together again, laugh, and make plans. I am grateful to Lilia for her support and advice, which helped me strengthen our relationship and restore harmony. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
