In this 30‑minute live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (Rivas y Asociados) greets a mixed audience from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook and opens the floor for real‑time questions. She first addresses the hot‑topic rumor that ICE is conducting more raids in Tulsa, Oklahoma, explaining that recent detentions are not random sweeps but are focused on individuals with criminal convictions, outstanding removal orders, or recent re‑entries after deportation. Rivas then moves through a rapid‑fire Q&A covering a wide range of immigration procedures: the typical one‑to‑one‑and‑a‑half‑year processing time for marriage‑based adjustment of status (I‑485), why case backlogs have grown (staff cuts, policy shifts, increased case reviews), the mechanics of U‑visa work permits (C‑14), VAWA self‑petition timelines and evidence requests, renewal of work permits during pending appeals, the impact of criminal records on bond eligibility, and the nuances of travel for permanent residents, asylees, and those needing advance parole (I‑131). She also clarifies misconceptions about visa‑type arrests, the role of local law enforcement in ICE operations, and practical steps for applicants (e.g., gathering evidence, responding to RFEs, filing appeals, and when to seek legal counsel). Throughout, Rivas emphasizes the importance of filing when eligible, warns against “notary‑only” filings, and repeatedly provides her office’s phone numbers for consultations. The session ends with a reminder of daily live office hours and a call for viewers to stay informed and protect their families.
