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.

Thank you to the clairvoyant Lilia for helping me get my husband back. Honestly, I was on edge, but Lilia didn't let me give up. Everything she did was kind and precise. After just a few sessions, my husband started to reach out to me. Now we're a family again. If anyone has any doubts, don't worry, she really does help. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I'm grateful to Lila for every word of support. I couldn't have done it without her.
Lilya became a light in my darkest place. When my husband left, I stopped believing I could be needed by anyone. Lilya said our feelings were alive, just buried under resentment. She helped me find peace, let go of the pain, and suddenly the world seemed to turn its face to me. My husband came to me himself—not because I asked, but because he realized we still mattered to each other. I am grateful to Lilya for every word of support. I couldn't have done it without her. Her contact information is +380638055486 (her WhatsApp and Viber) and +19297133433 (USA).
Since I had first become the master of Matrona, my life was in complete disarray. My man was pishov, the hundred-year-olds were screaming, and I didn’t know what to do. Everything seemed hopeless, but I couldn’t give up... I really loved him and wanted to turn the family around. Matrona did not cherish Mitt’s miracles, but her words had a new power and solemnity. She immediately recognized that there were deep feelings between us, and also pointed out the moments that led to discord in our joints. The fortune teller explained that it is necessary to work not only on the external environment, but also on oneself, in order to be ready for renewed harmony. The matron recommended a number of rituals to renew the energy in our homeland. She gave me specific reasons for what I needed to do to clear the space and improve the emotional connections. Forgive the rituals, but they have special power. Every day I felt how the atmosphere in the house was changing: new sensations appeared, and the man and I began to settle down one after another with the same understanding. The man turned around. It didn’t happen, but after a dozen hours, he himself began to show his gratitude, turned around, and started looking for ways to renew our socks. Now we are happy again, and I am grateful to Matrona for her help. She not only turned me around, but she taught me important lessons about love, patience and trust. If not, I don’t know how everything would have turned out. Now I can honestly say that her help was not just esoteric, but real support, which helped save our family. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for harmony and renewal of love to your life! ЇЇ number +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
When it seems that everything is falling apart, and there is only pain and resentment ahead, a person appears who instills hope. For our family, this person was Lilia. Her support, wisdom and subtle understanding of the situation helped us not only stop on the edge, but also turn to face each other. Thanks to her, we learned to hear again, forgive, speak without reproaches. Lilia removed the heavy negativity that had been accumulating between us for years. Thank her from the bottom of my heart - for our saved family and for the warm light that she brought to our home.
