In this live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid stream of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics. She explains current processing times for provisional waivers (I‑601A) (about 3.5 years), adjustment of status timelines (roughly 12‑18 months depending on the basis), and the need for a criminal attorney for DUI cases. She outlines the Visa U work‑permit sequence and the three‑year path to permanent residency, and clarifies VAWA approval timelines (approximately three years to obtain a green card after VAWA approval). Rivas details who can sponsor family members (spouses, children, parents, siblings, but not grandparents), the documentation required to prove a bona‑fide marriage, and alternative routes such as VAWA for abused spouses. She discusses using a U.S. citizen child (age 21+) to sponsor a parent, military parole for children under 21, and the impact of past illegal entry on naturalization eligibility. Practical advice is given on filing FOIA requests, handling asylum cases that move to immigration court, and the importance of honesty in visa applications. Throughout, she promotes her firm Rivas y Asociados, provides multiple contact numbers, mentions office relocation in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and advertises English and citizenship classes through the Colegio de Sueños. The tone is conversational, instructional, and supportive, aiming to demystify complex immigration processes and encourage viewers to seek personalized consultations.
