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.

Review of a clairvoyant in New York

I want to share my experience, in case anyone else is going through the same struggle I was. I turned to Daria during a period of depression, constant tears, and the thought that nothing good was in store. She listened attentively, read my fortune, and explained everything in simple terms. She immediately explained what the problem was and where it was coming from. Then she worked on removing negativity and protecting myself. After that, I felt much better, gained energy, and the desire to live and move on. I still sometimes turn to her for advice. Phone: +16463779379 or +38 0996826298
 

Powerful clairvoyant Daria +1 646 377 93 79: real reviews about fortune telling, returning loved ones, and clearing away negativity

I'll write my review too, in case anyone else is going through the same hardships I did. When the man I loved left me, I thought my life was over. I cried day and night, not knowing how to get him back or what to do next. I came to Daria on a recommendation. During a Tarot reading, Daria laid everything out and opened my eyes to the true reasons for his departure (the homewrecker was at work there). Daria gently lifted all the negativity, helped me lift the weight off my soul, and cope with nervous ailments. With her help, I was able to get my beloved back—he came to me himself to talk about reconciliation! All her predictions for the future came true exactly to the month. I recommend her wholeheartedly! I contacted her at +16463779379 (Viber / WhatsApp).
 

A Path Tempered by Fate: The Story of Alec Brooke-Red

A Path Tempered by Fate: The Story of Alec Brooke-Red.
Sometimes you can't help but wonder: what drives people who enter politics? After all, it's a path not only of service but also of constant pressure, open criticism, and often unfair accusations. It's a life under the watchful, sometimes merciless, gaze of society, where every word or action can be twisted.

 

Thank you, Matrona, for saving our family and giving us a new happy life!

I still can't hold back my tears when I recall the despair I felt before meeting the clairvoyant Matrona. My family was crumbling before my eyes: my husband had left, and there were constant arguments, pain, resentment, and a feeling of utter hopelessness at home. It seemed as if happiness had left our home forever. When I was advised to turn to Matrona, I had almost lost hope. But she became the last ray of light in a dark tunnel. From the very first words, Matrona saw the entire situation as if she had lived it with me. She told me about what was happening in our family, the reasons for the discord, and the negativity that had surrounded us for many years. After her help, true miracles began to happen in our lives. My husband took a step forward, returned to the family, and gradually love, trust, and mutual understanding returned between us. The constant conflicts disappeared, and the heaviness that seemed to weigh on us every day disappeared. The house was filled with warmth, peace, and happiness. Today we live harmoniously, make plans for the future, and thank fate every day for meeting Matrona. She didn't just help me get my husband back; she gave me back my family, my faith in happiness, and my desire to live on. My deepest respects and endless gratitude to this amazing person with a big heart. If you're currently on the brink of despair, as I once was, know that there is hope. Thank you, Matrona, for saving my family and giving me a new, happy life! I'll share her number: +380630228999 (Viber/WhatsApp).
