In this live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire series of audience questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration matters. She explains the typical one‑year processing window after filing Form I‑751 to remove conditions on a 2‑year green card, and confirms that self‑representation in immigration court is allowed but recommends legal counsel. She clarifies that a foreign passport that meets the REAL ID criteria can be used for airport travel, and that children can be sponsored at age 21 (with preparation beginning around 20‑½). She outlines post‑receipt steps such as fingerprinting and waiting for approval. Regarding investor visas, she notes that unlawful presence bars eligibility and that investment amounts vary by location, often around $100,000. She discusses how various criminal offenses (DUI, drug offenses, theft, domestic violence) may affect immigration relief, emphasizing case‑by‑case analysis. She provides timelines for VAWA (6‑8 months for work authorization, up to 3 years for residency) and the requirements for a U‑visa victim, including police certification. She addresses work authorization through a permanent‑resident spouse, sibling petitions for Mexican nationals (22‑23 year wait), and other family‑based filing nuances. Throughout, she repeatedly offers her firm’s contact number (844‑377‑RIVAS) and notes that they serve clients nationwide from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
