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.

Strong clairvoyant Galina Vishnevskaya reviews: accurate online fortune telling on Tarot cards from photos

I turned to many psychics and fortune tellers when my life turned into a living nightmare, but only Galina helped. My loved one left me for no reason, blocked me everywhere, and I was left alone, heartbroken, and just howling at night from frustration. Everyone I'd contacted before had said the same thing. I messaged Galina remotely on WhatsApp: +79687419383. She performed an amazing online Tarot card reading and did an in-depth photo analysis. Girls, I was in tears with how accurately she predicts the future and sees the past! She revealed details of our relationship that no one else could have known. Galina immediately saw someone else's love spell and a scam on my husband, and a terrible evil eye and a curse of bad luck on me. She performed powerful rituals and made a wax casting online. Literally two weeks later, my beloved returned, crying, asking for forgiveness, and saying it felt like he was being led by a stranger. Many thanks to Galina for her incredible gift of divination and for saving my love!
 

Natalia Valerievna reviews: Tarot reading and digital psychology using photos

I want to leave an honest review about Natalya Valeryevna. I'm a skeptic, so I went to fortune tellers because the girls at work kept nagging me. I had a negative experience before, when they told me a bunch of nonsense that didn't come true. Natalya Valeryevna works remotely; we communicated on WhatsApp without a camera—a purely voice call. Her sessions include everything: Tarot, photo analysis, and digital psychology (this is what amazed me most—she laid out my life dates in a way no one else could!). She immediately suggested the right course of action in business and relationships, and performed a ritual to attract good luck. Things have really taken off! I highly recommend her. Her WhatsApp: +380974259700.

Fixing the Riegelmann Boardwalk will protect public health and safety.
Every day, thousands of people come to the ocean on Coney Island and Brighton Beach. These walks include senior citizens, parents with children, people with disabilities, local residents, and tourists from all over the world. However, today, walking along some sections of the boardwalk can result in injury.

MAG ZAKHAR +380954248510 Viber, WhatsApp

When my boyfriend suddenly and without explanation broke up with me, I felt like I couldn't bear it. It was a huge blow; I was devastated, lost, and unsure how to move on. My tears wouldn't dry, and my heart ached with pain. But a clue as to how to fix everything unexpectedly came to me. During a layover at Frankfurt Airport on a flight to Warsaw, when I decided to visit my parents for a little distraction, I struck up a conversation with a woman on the same flight. Seeing how I was suffering, she treated me with compassion and offered moral support. She shared various curious incidents and experiences from her life and recommended that I consult the clairvoyant magician Zakhar about my situation. I decided to give it a try and wrote down his phone number. I can confidently say it was the right decision. Zakhar proved himself to be an exceptionally powerful clairvoyant, capable of deeply understanding situations and finding solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Thanks to his help and magical practice, my boyfriend returned to me after some time. More importantly, he proposed to me. We are happily married. I know that when traditional methods fail, unconventional solutions come to the rescue. Therefore, I sincerely recommend the magician Zakhar to anyone who needs truly effective and efficient help with personal matters. You can text or call Zakhar at +380954248510 (Viber, WhatsApp).
