EN VIVO en Radio Las Americas - Abogada Lorena

In this live Spanish‑language radio segment, host Cynthia welcomes immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. to answer a rapid‑fire series of listener questions about U.S. immigration law. Lorena provides up‑to‑date commentary on recent policy shifts—such as a new rule allowing asylum officers to bypass asylum interviews and refer cases directly to immigration judges—affecting the likelihood of asylum approvals. She discusses the uncertain status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Salvadoran nationals, explains how victims of crime can leverage U‑visas and concurrently file family petitions (I‑130), and outlines the requirements, timelines, and limitations of cancellation of removal (42B) and VAWA applications. The conversation also covers practical matters: expected processing delays for RFEs, the impact of past DUIs on naturalization, and the typical 2‑year wait for U‑visa‑based residency. Lorena repeatedly shares contact information for her firm (Rivas y Asociados) in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Fort Smith, Arkansas, and directs listeners to verified social‑media channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). The tone is conversational, supportive, and aimed at empowering the Hispanic community with actionable legal guidance.
