In a live Spanish‑language radio program, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq., joins hosts and callers to discuss recent immigration developments and answer a wide range of community questions. She explains a Rhode Island federal court decision that lifted a pause on visa applications for 39 countries, and notes ongoing delays in immigration processing. Rivas stresses the importance of having trustworthy legal representation, urging listeners to consult multiple attorneys before choosing one. She outlines how to evaluate detained individuals for possible relief (amparo, bond, cancellation of removal) by gathering information on length of U.S. residence, entry method, family ties, prior filings, criminal history, and fear of return. The conversation covers sponsor obligations and the public‑charge test, VAWA eligibility and timing, Visa T and U protections for trafficking or crime victims, the 601A provisional waiver process, asylum and derivative adjustment timelines, work‑permit (EAD) delays, DACA renewal, and the impact of criminal records such as DUI. Rivas also provides practical advice on document preservation, electronic record‑keeping, and how to navigate consular interviews. Throughout, she encourages immigrants to stay hopeful, seek professional help, and celebrate community events responsibly. Contact information for Rivas & Associates (phone numbers, WhatsApp, social media) is repeatedly shared.
