In this live, call‑in radio program, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a wide range of listener questions about U.S. immigration law. She explains the 10‑year permanent bar that applies to multiple unlawful entries after April 1997, the requirements and waivers for family petitions (I‑130) filed by U.S. citizen children for their parents, and the options for long‑term undocumented residents to adjust status through family, marriage, VAWA, or humanitarian visas (U and T). Rivas details the consular processing steps, the need for waivers when a person has prior deportations or unlawful presence, and how criminal history affects eligibility. She provides practical advice on naturalization, including the Spanish‑language test for older permanent residents, study strategies for the civics exam, and the impact of pending Supreme Court litigation on birthright citizenship. The segment also includes logistical information such as phone numbers for her office, a seasonal $500 discount, and suggestions for using congressional assistance to expedite consular appointments. Throughout, her tone is conversational, supportive, and instructional, aiming to empower listeners with actionable guidance.
