The live radio‑YouTube segment features immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answering a rapid‑fire series of callers’ questions about U.S. immigration law. The discussion opens with a brief introduction and moves into a range of topics: the status of Oklahoma’s anti‑immigrant HB 4156, which has been temporarily blocked by a court‑issued restraining order; how U.S. citizens can sponsor adult children and the long processing timelines involved; eligibility, risks, and processing times for T‑visas (trafficking victims) and U‑visas (crime victims), including the impact of administration changes on work‑permit authorizations; VAWA‑based work and travel permits and their typical three‑year approval window; strategies for filing multiple petitions simultaneously (family petitions, T‑visa, waivers); differences between consular processing and adjustment of status; how permanent bars and criminal convictions affect eligibility and the possibility of filing I‑929 waivers; practical advice on custody disputes, ICE checkpoints, and the importance of consulting an immigration lawyer; and extensive contact information for Rivas & Associates and the role of the ACLU in litigation against state immigration measures. Throughout, Rivas provides procedural guidance, timelines, and realistic expectations while encouraging callers to seek personalized legal help.
