In this live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid series of viewer questions about the most common U.S. immigration procedures. She explains typical processing times for family‑based petitions (I‑130), the requirements for adjustment of status when a recent entry record is missing, and how waivers (perdones) must be obtained abroad. Rivas outlines the timeline for marriage‑based residency, noting that it can range from about one year to five years depending on whether adjustment of status, VAWA, consular processing, or a waiver is needed. She clarifies the steps after a youth (special) visa, the effect of I‑765 work‑permit and I‑131 travel‑document approvals, and the variable length of asylum appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals. The attorney updates viewers on the stalled DACA situation, provides current VAWA (I‑360) processing estimates (approximately 2 years for approval plus 18 months for residency), and discusses derivative VAWA benefits, VAWA eligibility after voluntary departure, and the use of military parole to avoid leaving the country. Throughout, she promotes her firm’s nationwide services and provides contact information for private consultations.
