In this live, call‑in radio program, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a wide range of listener questions about U.S. immigration law. She explains the recent Biden executive order that limits asylum eligibility for people who cross the border illegally, emphasizing that the order only affects prospective entrants, not those already in the United States. Rivas discusses family‑based petitions, the need for certain applicants to leave the U.S. for consular processing, and possible waivers (601A, VAWA, parole) that can avoid departure. She advises on detained individuals, bond requests, and the importance of an I‑130 petition. The attorney provides detailed guidance on U‑visa eligibility for crime victims, the documentation required from law enforcement, and the timeline for applying for a green card after a U‑visa is approved. She also addresses T‑visa eligibility for trafficking victims, the one‑year filing deadline for asylum, exceptions, and the risks of filing without a credible fear of persecution. Additional topics include the impact of DUI convictions on consular interviews, the timing for naturalization applications (including filing three months before eligibility), priority‑date considerations for family categories, and the typical processing time for provisional waivers (601A). Throughout, Rivas repeatedly shares contact numbers, office locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and social‑media handles for further assistance.
