In this live, hour‑long radio segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid stream of callers’ questions about U.S. immigration procedures. She explains how to request a FOIA record, the timelines and steps for VAWA petitions (including the associated work permit, Social Security number, and advance parole), the differences between 2‑year and 10‑year green cards, eligibility for naturalization, and the use of provisional waivers (I‑601A) for fraud or unlawful presence. Rivas also clarifies when a permanent bar can be waived, how to obtain parole for travel, the impact of criminal or fraud bars, and the role of family members (spouses, children over 21, siblings, fiancé(e) visas) in sponsoring. Additional topics include the effect of state driver‑license fingerprint sharing on immigration enforcement, the process for DACA‑holder spouses, and practical advice on contacting her office. Throughout, the tone is conversational and instructional, with a supportive, cautiously optimistic stance toward finding legal pathways.
