In this hour‑long live radio and YouTube broadcast, host Rubén invites immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. to answer a rapid stream of listener questions about U.S. immigration. The program opens with introductions, contact numbers (phone and WhatsApp) and a reminder that the attorney is also reachable on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. Throughout the show Lorena provides concise, practical explanations of many immigration processes: the family‑based I‑130 petition, the role of the National Visa Center, DS‑260 filing, the affidavit of support, and typical 12‑18‑month processing times; the optional K‑3 visa as a faster alternative; VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) eligibility, required evidence, and the 3‑to‑3½‑year timeline for a green card, plus work and travel permits that accompany a VAWA application. She clarifies when a case can be closed administratively versus dismissed, and when a work permit can be obtained for pending asylum or TPS cases. The attorney discusses the use of Social Security numbers, the impact of using another person’s identity, and the importance of accurate tax filings for petitioners versus beneficiaries. She outlines FOIA/FBI background‑check request timelines, the benefits of Visa T (trafficking victims) and Visa U (crime victims), and the process for re‑entry permits. Practical advice is given on domestic travel, airline versus land border checks, and the risks of illegal work. Lorena also shares logistical details: consultation fees ($100 phone, $150 in‑person), office locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, upcoming office closure for moving, and the imminent USCIS fee increase on April 1, urging listeners to start cases before March 1. The broadcast ends with reminders of contact numbers and encouragement to act promptly.
