In this Spanish‑language live stream, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions about a wide range of U.S. immigration relief options. The core focus is the U‑visa for victims of crime, but the discussion expands to VAWA petitions, asylum work permits, public‑charge exemptions, family‑based petitions for residents versus citizens, cancellation of removal, parole and travel permissions, DACA status, special juvenile visas, and procedural details such as timelines, required documentation, and costs. Rivas repeatedly provides practical guidance (e.g., when a crime‑victim can file for a U‑visa, how long the U‑visa wait‑list lasts, what constitutes a qualifying crime, the role of the police certification, and the Bona Fide work‑permit process). She also clarifies that public‑charge rules do not apply to VAWA, U‑visa, T‑visa, or asylum cases, and explains the steps to obtain work authorization for asylum applicants. The session includes numerous real‑world examples, estimates of processing times (e.g., VAWA ~2‑3 years, U‑visa up to 7 years, asylum work permit after ~5 months), and advice on when to seek legal counsel. Throughout, Rivas promotes her firm (Rivas & Associates), lists three phone numbers (918‑505‑4870, 844‑377‑RIVAS, 405‑754‑2841), mentions office locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and references the “Colegio de Sueños” language‑learning program. The stream ends with a reminder of her son’s baseball game and an invitation to follow her on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
