NEWEST IN IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION

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 recommend Lilia...

Girls!!! I want to recommend a girl named Lilia to you, who has the ability to predict the future. Honestly, I've always been skeptical of such people. But when I turned to Lilia, she said things about the past that few people knew. And that's not all)) She can help with personal matters too... In general, I recommend Lilia... +380638055486 +19297133433
 

Lily is a magic that I didn't believe in, but she brought back the love of my life!

I never thought I'd find myself in this situation. My heart was broken, and life felt meaningless. The man I loved had left, and I was ready to give up. It felt like everything was over. He became cold and distant, and I was losing myself, losing hope. At that moment, when I no longer knew how to fight, someone advised me to turn to Lilia. She was my last hope, and I didn't know what to expect. But from the first moment I spoke with her, I realized she wasn't just a clairvoyant, but a true woman with a powerful gift, capable of working miracles. Lilia was able to see all the hidden reasons that were destroying our relationship. She didn't just describe the situation, but also showed me how I could reconnect with my man, regain his love and trust. She said that love could be restored, but only if I changed myself and my inner energy. I followed her every piece of advice, even when doubts overcame me. But Lilia was so sure that I couldn't help but believe her. With her help, I understood how important it is not to lose yourself in a relationship, how to learn to let go of the past and not be afraid to open up again. And now, a few weeks later, the very man I had almost buried in my heart returned! He came as if nothing had happened and fell in love with me again. I will never forget the moment when he said: "I missed you. You have become different, and I want to be with you too." Lilia is not just a clairvoyant, she is a sorceress who brought me back to life. She was able to see the light in my torn heart and guide me to happiness. I am endlessly grateful to her! If you are looking for answers, faith and real magic, you need to turn to her. I can no longer imagine my life without her. She brought back not only my man, but also my happiness! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
 

Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He brought me back not just my husband, but my entire world! I'm incredibly grateful for his help and kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).

I sat and stared into space. My world had collapsed in an instant. My husband, my support, my best friend, was simply gone. Without explanation, without goodbyes. He severed all ties and filed for divorce. I didn't understand what was happening. I went to fortune tellers, fortune tellers, even some witch, but it was all useless. Only empty promises and lost money. Hope faded with each passing day, until a friend advised me to contact Zakhar. I no longer believed in anything, but out of desperation, I decided to do it. And it was the best decision of my life! When I came to him, he didn't ask me anything. He just looked at me and started talking. He said things that only I knew! He saw my pain, saw the whole situation, as if he had lived through it himself and seen everything through my eyes. It was true clairvoyance. Zakhar agreed to help, and I prayed that it would work. I was happy to have found such a strong man, but I was still a little worried. And can you imagine? It wasn't even a couple of weeks before my Kolya started calling. At first timidly, then more often. He apologized, saying he didn't understand what had come over him. He came home! We were back together, and our family had only grown stronger. Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He gave me back not just my husband, but my whole world! I am immensely grateful for his help and his kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).
 

I cried into my pillow until I found Lily...

I deeply appreciate your participation, support, and ability to inspire inner change. I wish you continued success and grateful clients!
