In this live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas of Rivas y Asociados fields a rapid‑fire stream of audience questions about U.S. immigration processes. She explains that work permits (I‑765) are not being universally cancelled; only certain categories such as the Special Youth Visa and some TPS‑based permits face policy‑driven restrictions. Rivas details the extensive backlogs affecting I‑130 family petitions, VAWA (I‑360) cases, T and U victim visas, and biometrics appointments, citing typical processing windows (e.g., 4‑5 months for VAWA receipts, 2 months for biometrics, 40 months for VAWA approval). She clarifies the historic 245(i) protection, its 2001 cutoff, and how minors of protected parents may still benefit. Practical advice is offered on tracking certified mail receipts, gathering evidence for T/U visas, renewing work permits, and the impact of cancelled deferred action for youth‑special visa holders. Rivas also addresses public‑charge concerns, driver‑license eligibility, and the importance of consulting an immigration lawyer for case‑specific analysis. Throughout, she provides emotional encouragement, warns viewers about fake social‑media profiles, and repeatedly shares the firm’s contact number (844‑37‑RIVAS) and office locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
