In a live broadcast of Radio Las Américas (also streamed on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok), immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. fielded calls and messages from listeners seeking guidance on a wide range of U.S. immigration matters. She explained the recent FBI background‑check notifications sent to all applicants with pending USCIS cases, clarified that the notices are routine and do not indicate a problem, and urged applicants not to panic. Rivas updated listeners on the resumption of DACA travel‑permit approvals after long delays, warning that DACA recipients should consult an attorney before traveling. She described systemic slowdowns affecting work permits, I‑485 adjustments, and consular interview appointments, noting a September pause in immigrant visa appointments for the Mexican consulates to allow staff training on new public‑charge criteria. The attorney discussed cancellation‑of‑removal (42/42B) cases, the annual cap of 4,000 visas, and the typical 4‑5‑year wait after a favorable 42B decision. She answered specific caller questions about U‑visa eligibility for a victim of domestic violence abroad, VAWA travel‑permit delays, public‑charge implications for Medicare, military parole for a child, and whether contacting a congressperson can expedite an I‑485. Throughout, Rivas promoted her firm’s three offices (Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Fort Smith), provided phone numbers (918‑794‑2547 for live calls, 918‑607‑8503 for WhatsApp, 918‑505‑4870 for appointments), and emphasized using only verified social‑media accounts. The segment combined practical procedural advice, status updates on policy changes, and encouragement for immigrants to seek professional counsel.
