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.

Lilia is an amazing person! I felt like there was a "wall" between my husband and me, even though everything had been wonderful before. After the consultation and the harmonization ritual, everything changed: we started talking again, laughing, and planning for the future. Even the children noticed how warm and calm it was at home. Thank you so much! I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
The family was on the verge of divorce, but Lilia helped
My husband and I were together for 12 years, we had two children. Everything was heading towards divorce - he became cold, was constantly at work, then admitted that he fell in love with another woman. I was desperate. I read about Lilia on one of the forums. I didn’t decide right away, but everything matched: the symptoms, the distance, the strange behavior of my husband... Lilia said that she saw interference, that he was “taken” for a reason. I started working - I did an energy cleansing, then a ritual to restore feelings. A week later, my husband began to return - at first neutrally, then he began to say that all this was some kind of nonsense. A month later, he returned home. We started all over again. I would not have coped without her. Lilia really saved my family. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
I hesitated for a long time to consult a clairvoyant, but my personal situation had me completely stumped. A friend gave me the contact information for a woman who really helps—she's both a clairvoyant and a tarot reader. I'll be honest, I was skeptical, but after talking with her, I was absolutely shocked. She explained everything as if she'd known me for a long time, even things I hadn't said. She lifted my ire, and literally within a week, my relationship with my boyfriend began to improve. I'm so grateful to her! If anyone needs help, here's the number I called: +1 646 377 9379.

My husband and I divorced. I tried to let it all go, but my heart was breaking. He started living with someone else, and I suffered in silence. I couldn't sleep at night, praying. I stumbled across Lilia's page by chance, and it was as if an inner voice said, "Contact me." So I wrote. She immediately said, "This isn't the end. You haven't let him go, and he hasn't let you go either." Everything she did was silent, without fuss or promises, but a month later he returned. He just showed up. And we started all over again. Thank you, Lilia, for your faith, for your support, and for being there. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
