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.

Zakhar gave me back the meaning of life and the belief that even from the darkest depths one can emerge into the light.

When my boyfriend left, I didn't know how to move on. I was left alone in New York, and I wasn't prepared for this at all. My heart was breaking with pain, and time was running out. The savings I'd accumulated in Florida were melting like dew in the sun, and I even considered leaving the US to be with my mother in Italy, where she'd lived for the past three years. It seemed all was lost. That's when I stumbled upon the contacts of the magician Zakhar. I was worried about whether he'd be able to see my situation remotely, but distance wasn't a problem for him. My very first conversation with Zakhar amazed me. He saw everything down to the last detail without asking anything. His calm and confidence gave me hope. He said he could help, and I grasped at that straw. Magic... I always thought it was something from movies, but Zakhar showed me that real magic is faith and the ability to channel energy. And a miracle happened! My beloved came back. He realized how much he needed me and that our breakup was a mistake. And then... then he proposed! It was like a dream come true. Today we are married, and every day I thank fate and, of course, Zakhar for our happiness with my beloved. We have a beautiful daughter. Our family is the most precious thing I have. Zakhar gave me back my meaning in life and the belief that even from the darkest depths, you can emerge into the light. I advise you not to despair and don't be shy about asking for help. Zakhar's magician's number is +380954248510. I communicated with him via WhatsApp.
 

Clairvoyant in New York

I sought the help of a clairvoyant to understand what would happen next in my life and what steps I needed to take to achieve my goals. The reading was incredibly accurate: she described the events that were destined to happen and gave me advice on how to avoid mistakes and improve my life. I am very grateful for her help and support. I felt confident about the future and understood the importance of trusting a professional. Her number is +16463779379.
 

CLAIRVOYANT ALEXANDRA +380956621639 Viber/WhatsApp/Telegram

It works. I have tested it myself! I don’t like to bring personal matters to the public, but here — respect obliges. I turned to clairvoyant Alexandra at a time when everything in the family was hanging by a thread. Constant conflicts, alienation, a feeling that someone or something was simply “breaking” us from the inside. She immediately saw the root of the problem. No fluff — only specifics. She did a cleansing, removed what was interfering, and put up protection. Changes began almost immediately. The tension went away, conversations and warmth returned. We became a family again. To say that I am grateful is to say nothing. If someone has a similar situation — don’t delay. This woman really helps. Her number is +380956621639 Viber/WhatsApp/Telegram
 

When everything went wrong, clairvoyant Daria helped +16463779379

I am not writing for advertising, but because I was looking for reviews myself at the time. I was going through a very difficult period - I was fired from my job, I had money problems, and my relationship was falling apart. It was as if everything was falling apart. My sister said that maybe I was under negative energy or the evil eye. I didn't really believe it, but it was so bad that I decided to try. I found Daria, a clairvoyant and tarot reader. I wrote to her on Viber: +380996826298. She responded immediately and explained everything calmly. She did a diagnostic and said that I really was under negative energy. She did a cleansing and then helped me with my money channel. I didn't even expect it, but a couple of weeks later I was offered a new job, and it was better than the previous one. My mood and sleep improved. Daria doesn't "scare" you like many others, she doesn't push "urgent rituals", everything is honest. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would have coped further. Her number: +16463779379 and Viber I wrote above. Thank her very much!
