Abogada de Inmigración l Lorena Rivas #inmigracion
In this short video, immigration lawyer Lorena Rivas answers a caller, Elizabeth, who believes she can obtain a 10‑year immigration permit after living in the United States for ten years and having four U.S.‑born children. The attorney clarifies that no such permit exists solely based on length of residence. The only pathway that might provide a work permit is the cancellation of removal, which is available only to individuals who are already in removal (deportation) proceedings before an immigration judge. While a case is pending, a person may receive temporary work authorization, but if the case is ultimately denied, the individual will be ordered deported. The attorney emphasizes that any claim of a 10‑year work permit is misinformation.
