In a live Friday morning broadcast on Radio La Que Buena from Tulsa, host Rubén Mendoza welcomes immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. to answer a rapid‑fire series of listener questions about U.S. immigration. Rivas explains the meaning and timing of VAWA‑based work and travel cards, the processing window (7‑10 months) for VAWA permits, and clarifies that a work‑permit approval does not guarantee VAWA approval. She describes the C‑31 category as a VAWA‑linked work authorization and advises that the next step is to pursue adjustment of status. The attorney walks callers through Visa T and Visa U eligibility (victims of trafficking or crimes), the four‑year work permit, and the timing for filing a residence application (typically after three years). She outlines the new Biden parole program (June 2024 announcement), noting that existing approved I‑130 and I‑601A petitions can be used without filing a new I‑130, but details are still pending. Rivas advises on biometrics appointments, what to do if a fingerprint appointment is missed, and the limited number of times a travel permit (advance parole) should be used. She warns against crossing the border without documents, discusses the impact of drug convictions on VAWA or other relief, and explains how to address fraudulent “notario” or attorney scams, including filing complaints with state bar associations and pursuing civil suits. Throughout the show she repeats her office phone numbers (918‑254‑5797, 918‑505‑4870), WhatsApp contact (918‑732‑9871), and promotes her social‑media presence (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook). The segment ends with a reminder of her Tulsa and Oklahoma City offices and upcoming travel to North Carolina for a migration interview.
