In this live Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics. She explains the proper use of the family petition form I‑130 for parents, the limited impact of DUI convictions on green‑card status, and why undocumented individuals should not travel to Puerto Rico. Rivas details steps for renewing an expired green card (I‑90) and using an InfoPass appointment to obtain temporary proof of residency for travel. She discusses how adult U.S. citizen children (21+) can sponsor a parent, the processing delays and eligibility nuances of U visas (including the distinction between victims and witnesses) and the possibility of T‑visa relief for labor‑trafficking victims. The attorney outlines timelines for family‑based adjustment, options for reopening deportation orders after a denied asylum, and the necessity of an approved advance parole (I‑131) before leaving the country while an adjustment application is pending. Finally, she addresses concerns about K‑1 fiancé visa receipt delays. Throughout, she provides practical advice, shares her contact number (844‑377‑RIVAS), and encourages viewers to schedule consultations.
