In this live Spanish‑language broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas of Rivas y Asociados fields a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics. She explains the risks of deportation when ICE detains someone without legal representation, clarifies eligibility and procedural steps for U‑visa work authorization (including cases where the police certification is signed by a different officer), discusses consular processing and the need to leave the country when an I‑130 is approved, and outlines how marriage to a U.S. resident or citizen can be used to adjust status for asylum entrants. Rivas provides timelines for cancellation of removal (approximately 3‑4 years to obtain a green card), details the scope and limits of VAWA travel permits, offers practical advice for preparing marriage‑based adjustment interviews (documentation, credibility, translator), and corrects misconceptions about work‑permit renewal for deferred‑action categories (C‑14, U, T, etc.). She also addresses processing times for I‑601A provisional waivers, VAWA adjustment work permits (≈10 months), advance parole interactions with pending U‑visa cases, and the fact that biometric appointments are not generally targeted by ICE. Throughout, she emphasizes that immigration law is federal, allowing her Oklahoma‑licensed firm to represent clients nationwide, while noting that state criminal matters like DUI fall outside her practice. The session repeatedly invites viewers to contact the firm via phone or social media for personalized representation.
