In this hour‑long Spanish‑language livestream, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas of Rivas y Asociados answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions covering a wide range of immigration topics. She explains the new federal registration requirement for undocumented persons and its potential criminal and procedural risks, clarifies that individuals who already have work permits or pending immigration cases are generally already registered, and advises consulting an attorney before deciding whether to register. She details the need to visit a Social Security Administration office in person to obtain a SSN after receiving a work permit, noting no known risks. Rivas provides processing‑time estimates for VAWA (3‑5 years total), adjustment of status for children of U.S. citizens (14‑18 months), and work‑permit issuance after VAWA (≈10 months). She distinguishes between a “good‑faith” letter and a “deferred‑action” (action diferida) notice for Visa U applicants, emphasizing that the latter indicates a full case review. She answers questions about Advance Parole for DACA/TPS holders (marital status irrelevant), the effect of a past DUI on a consular interview, the impact of deportation on Visa T versus VAWA, and the content of VAWA interviews (including relationship‑status questions). She outlines steps for military parole and subsequent work‑permit timelines, travel considerations with C‑14 and provisional waiver (I‑601A), and who can petition family members (spouses, parents, siblings). Throughout she promotes her firm’s contact information, encourages seeking legal counsel before making decisions, and reassures viewers that despite agency backlogs, options remain for many immigrants.
