In this live multilingual session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions about U.S. immigration processes. She explains the I‑385 check‑in notice and how it can serve as a form of parole for Cubans seeking adjustment after one year, the ramifications of abandoning an asylum claim while in removal proceedings, and the importance of notifying the court of any departure. Rivas discusses how prior arrests (“agarradas”) may affect a marriage‑based residency application, noting that the impact depends on the nature of the offenses. She clarifies that individuals whose tourist status under a visa‑waiver program has expired cannot change status while out of status, and that a U‑visa may be possible for victims of domestic violence if the incident meets severity criteria. The attorney outlines options for spouses of U.S. residents or citizens—including adjustment of status without leaving the country—and for parents with adult U.S. citizen children (21+). A substantial portion of the talk is devoted to the military parole program, which grants lawful entry, work authorization, and faster adjustment for those with close family members serving in any branch of the U.S. armed forces. Throughout, Rivas provides her contact number (844‑37‑RIVAS), social‑media handles, and emphasizes her Tulsa‑based practice serving clients nationwide.
