In this live Spanish‑language stream, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics. She explains why natural disasters like Honduran hurricanes do not qualify for asylum, clarifies the difference between asylum and Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and outlines the eligibility criteria and benefits of the U‑visa for victims of serious crimes. Rivas details the process, timelines, and work‑permit expectations for U‑visa applicants, including recent policy changes that allow work authorization while the petition is pending. She addresses family‑based petitions for permanent residents, the timing for spousal adjustment of status, and the impact of criminal convictions on immigration cases. The attorney also discusses VAWA prima‑facie notices, the I‑601A provisional waiver timeline, DACA and Advance Parole, the Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status for minors, and the requirements for citizenship. Throughout, she emphasizes the need for personalized legal counsel, provides her contact number (918‑505‑4870), and encourages viewers to schedule consultations.
