Abogada de Inmigración l Lorena Rivas #inmigracion
In this short Spanish-language Q&A, a caller asks immigration attorney Lorena Rivas how a person who holds Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and has a 21‑year‑old U.S. citizen daughter can regularize their immigration status. The attorney explains that, assuming the individual entered the U.S. without inspection, they should obtain a parole (parol) to secure a lawful entry. Once they have a legal entry, they can adjust status through their daughter without needing a waiver of inadmissibility or undergoing a lengthier consular processing route. She notes that TPS is typically available to nationals of countries such as Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, and emphasizes that the parole‑based adjustment is a faster, more straightforward path.
