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 came to Lila with one goal - to get my husband back.
I came to Lila with one goal: to get my husband back. But along the way, I realized I needed to get myself back first. Thanks to her advice, I've changed—internally, externally, and energetically. And you know what? My husband noticed it himself. At first, he was just interested, then he started caring, and now he's my husband again—a different, more attentive one. Thank you for everything! Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
I want to leave a review because I was once looking for something similar. Several of my friends and I contacted Oksana, and she helped everyone in our own way. She did a fortune telling for me—she told the truth about my situation and predicted the events that subsequently occurred. She helped a friend remove a curse, and after that, her bad luck actually ended. Oksana doesn't scare people, doesn't try to extort money, and is honest.

Professional fortune telling and situational diagnosis
There are situations when simple conversations and advice don't help. Relationships are falling apart, a loved one leaves, money isn't holding up, and there's a constant sense of anxiety and a feeling that everything is going wrong. In such moments, it's important to understand the cause, not just endure. My name is Victoria, a clairvoyant and tarot reader. I help people, both in person and remotely, navigate life's challenges, remove negative influences, and change the situation for the better. I work calmly, without pressure or unnecessary promises. I examine the situation deeply—through fortune-telling and diagnostics—and explain in simple terms what's happening and the best course of action. How I help in practice: - When relationships are falling apart: If a loved one has left, grown cold, or there are constant arguments or outside interference, I help you understand the cause, remove the negative influence, and restore warmth, trust, and feelings. - When life hits a rough patch: If everything seems to be falling apart, you're unlucky, your money isn't holding up, your plans are falling apart, I look for what's blocking your path and help remove the energetic barriers. - When you feel someone else's influence: I work with the evil eye, envy, curses, and heavy energy that has been lingering for years. I cleanse and protect you so the situation doesn't recur. - When you need an honest answer: Through fortune-telling, I reveal what's really going on, what events lie ahead, whether you should wait for a person, change jobs, or make an important decision. - When you're lacking strength and energy: I help with constant fatigue, anxiety, apathy, inner emptiness, when you "don't want anything" and have no inner support. - When your personal destiny isn't working out: I work with loneliness, repeated failures in love, fear of relationships, and help open the way to family happiness. - When protection is needed: I help you close yourself off from envious people, ill-wishers, gossip, and other people's negative interference. Every person and every situation is unique. I tailor the work to your specific needs and never do anything unnecessary. If you feel stuck, write or call, and we'll find a way out together.

My cry from the heart. A review of the fortune teller Marfa.
My Cry from the Heart. A Review of the Fortune Teller Marfa. I am writing these lines, crying... I never thought I would reach such despair. My life was collapsing like a house of cards. My husband left for another woman. He simply packed his things and left, leaving me alone with a child and a pain that was tearing my heart to pieces. I wandered the apartment, restless, sobbing into my pillow at night, praying... but it seemed like God wasn't hearing me. One day, by chance, I came across a review of the fortune teller Marfa. I didn't believe in fortune tellers or rituals, but back then I didn't care if I just wanted my loved one back, if only I couldn't feel this emptiness. I wrote to her. And from that moment, a miracle began in my life. Marfa is not just a woman. She seems to see right through my soul. When she began to speak, I sat and trembled... she knew everything: what was happening between us, what he said, what I felt. Tears flowed naturally. Martha said, "You're not alone. We'll get everything back." And I believed her. Three days later, my husband wrote. At first, he was dry, then he started calling, asking for forgiveness, saying he couldn't live without us. I couldn't believe my eyes; I just sat and cried, looking at the phone. And then he came back. To our home, to our child... to our love. Now I live as if in another world. We are together again, he has become caring, attentive, as if he had been replaced. I still don't understand how Martha does it. She gave me back not only my husband... she gave me back my life. If you are reading this and feel the same pain I felt... don't lose hope. Martha works miracles. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear. May God protect you for saving families and women's hearts... Martha +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
