The program is a live, call‑in radio show hosted by La Que Buena where immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a wide range of questions from listeners about U.S. immigration law. The discussion covers sponsor income thresholds for Form I‑864, the impact of the September 18 public‑charge rule change, requirements for co‑sponsors, and how to demonstrate financial self‑sufficiency. Rivas explains the process for family petitions (I‑130) when the petitioner dies, the need for humanitarian re‑entry petitions, and the use of waivers (perdon) for unlawful presence or prior removals. She provides detailed guidance on U‑visa certification renewal, VAWA case timelines (often 12‑18 months for work permits) and advises against travel on VAWA parole due to increased scrutiny. Visa T and Visa U processing delays (up to 3 years) and the risk of ICE detention even after approval are discussed. The attorney also addresses DACA status, asylum follow‑up, FOIA requests, lost medical‑exam records, and practical tips such as carrying a copy of a green‑card, using the I‑864P poverty guidelines, and when to seek a second opinion. Throughout, Rivas emphasizes the importance of documentation, the evolving public‑charge rules, and the need for professional legal counsel.
