In this live Spanish‑language Q&A, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas addresses a series of viewer questions about how to regularize status when facing removal proceedings or other immigration challenges. She explains that a pending U‑visa application can be used to request the DHS to terminate removal proceedings, and outlines the steps an attorney should take. She details the cancellation of removal (10‑year residency) requirements—continuous residence, qualifying family relationship, good moral character, and extreme hardship to the qualifying relative—emphasizing the difficulty of proving extreme hardship. For marriage‑based cases, she describes the process of filing I‑751 to remove conditions on a two‑year conditional green card, the timing for filing citizenship applications, and the possibility of adjusting status without the spouse’s cooperation via VAWA. She answers questions about family‑based sponsorship for parents (age limit of 21 for citizen children), DACA recipients married to U.S. citizens, and the timelines for work permits under VAWA. Throughout, she stresses the importance of legal representation, offers her nationwide services, and provides her office phone number (918‑505‑4870) for consultations.
