In this live, call‑in radio program the host Cindy invites immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. to answer a wide range of listener questions about U.S. immigration procedures. Lorena provides step‑by‑step guidance on obtaining a U.S. birth certificate and passport for a child born in the United States but raised abroad, explains how to request hospital records, and outlines the state vital‑records process. She clarifies biometrics appointment timelines for various forms (I‑130, I‑485, VAWA, etc.), advises callers when to follow up with USCIS, and discusses the impact of delays. The attorney addresses eligibility for TPS (requiring presence before 1999) and asylum (must be filed within one year, with exceptions), and warns about the difficulty of winning Honduran asylum cases. She explains how a work permit (EAD) can be used to obtain a driver’s license or state ID, and how to acquire a Social Security number after receiving an EAD. Additional topics include the process for a minor facing deportation, Visa U work‑permit timing, I‑131 parole applications, VAWA processing timelines, the effect of criminal convictions on immigration benefits, and the requirements for a U.S. citizen child to sponsor parents. Throughout, Lorena repeatedly offers her office’s phone numbers, social‑media handles, and encourages callers to seek personalized legal help.
