In this live, Spanish‑language Q&A session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. fielded a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions about U.S. immigration benefits and procedures. She addressed a wide range of topics, from eligibility for T‑visas for trafficking victims and VAWA relief for survivors of domestic violence, to practical guidance on family‑based petitions (I‑130), adjustment of status (I‑485), green‑card renewal (I‑90), provisional unlawful‑presence waivers (I‑601A), and the impact of criminal records (e.g., DUI) on U‑visa applications. Throughout, she clarified procedural steps, typical processing timelines (often 12‑18 months for waivers, about a year for marriage‑based petitions), and the importance of submitting correct documentation during interviews. The attorney also highlighted how adult U.S. citizen children can sponsor parents, the role of employers in sponsoring permanent residency after multiple work‑visa entries, and the limited options for deferred action based on serious health conditions. The session concluded with repeated invitations to contact her firm (Rivas & Associates) via phone or toll‑free number for personalized consultations.
