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.

Varya, for helping me get out of the deepest abyss in my life.

I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't calmly recall what I went through. When the person I loved left my life, it was as if the world around me ceased to exist. I lived on autopilot, forced a smile, and cried into my pillow at night so no one could hear. The pain was so intense that at times I felt like my heart might actually break. Every morning I woke up with one thought: why did this happen to me? I lost my peace, sleep, appetite, and faith that I would ever be happy again. The worst thing... I lost hope. I learned about Varya, the molfarka, completely by chance. Honestly, I contacted her without much faith. I simply had nothing left to hold on to. But from the first minutes of our conversation, I felt the warmth and support I sorely needed. She didn't judge or make empty promises, but helped me regain my faith in myself and that my story wasn't over yet. Some time passed, and changes began to happen in my life. At first, small, almost unnoticeable. Then more and more. And one day, something happened that I had been waiting for with all my heart and at the same time dreaded waiting for... my loved one appeared in my life again. I will never forget that day. My hands were shaking, tears were flowing of their own accord, and my heart was beating so hard it felt like it wanted to burst out of my chest. It seemed that after an endless winter, spring had finally arrived. At that moment, I realized that happiness still exists. Today we are together again. We are learning to appreciate each other, cherish our feelings and not repeat past mistakes. And every day I thank fate for this chance. Because with my loved one, joy, faith in the future and the desire to live have returned to me. Thank you, Varya, for helping me climb out of the deepest abyss in my life. Thank you for hope when there was none left. You will forever remain a person whom I will remember with great gratitude and warmth in my heart. Tel. +380632574828 Viber/WhatsApp
 

How I Got My Husband Back: A True Review of a Fortune Teller

Ladies, I want to share my story. My husband left me after 10 years of marriage, and it was like a different person. I tried many people, but only Natalia really helped. She doesn't just guess; she gets to the heart of the matter. She said things no one knew about. She helped clear up the negativity that had been cast upon us, and my husband returned to the family after just three weeks! I couldn't believe it myself. I'm leaving her number for anyone who really needs help with love: +19297404563.

Clairvoyant New York

If you're looking for help in a difficult life situation and don't know who to turn to, I'm ready to help. My name is Victoria, and I'm a practicing clairvoyant, tarot reader, and rune reader. I've been working with people for many years, helping them find a way out when it seems there's none. I conduct precise situational assessments, sense a person's energy, and identify the root causes of problems—in relationships, money, health, and destiny in general. My work isn't aimed at intimidation, but at providing genuine help and restoring harmony in life. My most frequently asked questions: - Love and Relationships: I help bring back loved ones, restore relationships, eliminate quarrels and coldness, perform love spells, harmonize couples, and attract a serious relationship or marriage. - Fortune Telling and Predictions: I use Tarot cards and runes to read, examine the past, present, and future, and help you understand the right course of action in your situation and what to expect next. - Removing Damage and Negativity: I remove damage, the evil eye, curses, strong negativity, celibacy, envy, and other people's interference. I cleanse the energy of a person and their family, and provide protection. - Money and Work: Rituals to attract money, luck, and clients, help in business and career, removing financial blockages, rituals for successful deals and sales. - Health and Energy: Energy cleansing, relieving fatigue, apathy, anxiety, restoring vitality, and helping with low energy. - Getting rid of addictions: Help in working with the energetic causes of addictions and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I select all rites and rituals strictly individually, without templates. I work carefully, confidentially, and based on the individual's situation. If you feel stagnation in your life, recurring problems, or nothing is working out, then it's time to change something. Phone / Viber: +380 67 990 02 01
