In this live Spanish‑language Q&A, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of audience questions submitted via Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. She covers a wide range of topics: the anticipated reopening of DACA under the Biden administration and eligibility criteria (arrival before 2007, continuous residence, education, criminal record considerations such as DWI); family‑based immigration options including petitions by U.S. citizens for siblings, parents, spouses, and children (including age thresholds, processing times by country, and the impact of prior deportations or voluntary departures); humanitarian relief avenues such as VAWA (I‑360 self‑petition), U‑visa for crime victims, T‑visa for trafficking victims, and TPS extensions; the effect of public charge rules on sponsorship; how common‑law marriage is treated for immigration purposes; strategies for individuals with past criminal issues, deportation orders, or illegal presence (e.g., waivers, deferred action, work permits); practical advice on filing timelines, required documentation (school transcripts for DACA, police reports for VAWA, etc.), and the attorney’s availability for consultations (phone, Zoom, in‑person across the U.S.). Throughout, she emphasizes that each case requires individualized analysis and encourages callers to contact her office (918‑505‑4870) for personalized assistance.
