The program is a live Spanish‑language call‑in radio show hosted by Rubén and immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. Throughout the hour‑long broadcast the host fields dozens of callers’ questions about U.S. immigration law. The attorney provides practical, up‑to‑date guidance on a wide range of topics: the upcoming public‑charge rule change effective September 18, 2026 and its limited impact on past discounted health benefits such as vaccines; how USCIS will evaluate public‑charge factors (Medicaid, SNAP, health insurance, employment, family benefits) and the timing of applications relative to the rule change; VAWA/I‑360 case processing times now averaging 50 months and the importance of filing dates; citizenship eligibility (3‑year vs 5‑year residency requirements, age‑based language exemptions, English‑test requirements); the necessity of updating address with USCIS and the local field office; bond amounts for detained non‑citizens and cost ranges; work‑permit (EAD) filing, biometrics, and typical delays of 10‑14 months; FOIA requests, handling minor arrests, and how they affect immigration filings; parole, the 3‑year/10‑year unlawful presence bars, and recent changes to parole‑related penalties; visa U/T and VAWA protections against deportation, bond‑cost considerations, and the need for specific waivers (I‑918, I‑601); re‑entry after prior deportation, the role of consular processing, and when a waiver is required; practical office information (Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Fort Smith) and contact numbers (918‑505‑4870, 918‑254‑5797, 918‑732‑9871). The tone is conversational, supportive, and occasionally cautionary, aiming to empower immigrant listeners with actionable steps and realistic expectations.
