In this live, unscripted broadcast on Radio Las Américas, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas fielded a rapid series of caller questions about a wide range of U.S. immigration issues. She repeatedly emphasized that a U.S. citizen child who turns 21 can sponsor a parent for adjustment of status, dispelling the myth that illegal entry permanently blocks any remedy. Rivas explained the difference between permanent bars, waivers, and the possibility of avoiding consular processing, and she described how VAWA, U‑visa, and 245(i) protections can be leveraged. She clarified naturalization timelines (3 years for spouses of citizens, 5 years otherwise), the impact of criminal convictions (DUI, drug offenses) on immigration status, and the limited availability of waivers for drug‑related bars. Rivas also discussed family‑based petitions for residents versus citizens, noting the long wait (≈22 years) for adult children of Mexican citizens, and suggested using FOIA requests to uncover prior filings that might qualify for 245(i). Throughout, she promoted her firm’s multi‑platform presence (radio, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook) and provided multiple contact numbers (local 918‑505‑4870, toll‑free 844‑37‑RIVAS) for callers to schedule consultations. The broadcast combined instructional legal advice with a conversational, supportive tone, repeatedly urging listeners to call her office for personalized case reviews.
