In this live, Spanish‑language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions about U.S. immigration. She explains DACA eligibility, the difference between new applications and renewals, and current processing times (2‑3 months for renewals, 3‑6 months for new filings). She details what documents—such as early‑childhood rental contracts, school records, and GED certificates—can serve as proof of entry before the June 15 2007 cutoff. Rivas discusses travel parole for TPS and DACA recipients, how to request it, and the need to obtain approval before leaving the country. She notes that U.S. consulates are reopening but appointments remain delayed due to COVID‑19, especially for emergency cases. The attorney clarifies that a foreign passport is sufficient for domestic travel within the United States, but not for international trips. She outlines remedies for victims of domestic violence, describing VAWA’s pathway to work authorization and residency. Rivas reviews family‑based immigration options, including I‑130 petitions filed in the 1990s, the protection offered by 245(i), and how U.S. citizen children can sponsor parents. She provides typical timelines for Employment Authorization Documents (3‑6 months) and explains that a Social Security number requires lawful status or a work permit. Throughout, she repeatedly invites viewers to schedule private consultations via phone or video, providing her contact numbers and social‑media handles. The overall tone is conversational, supportive, and instructional, aiming to empower undocumented or recently arrived individuals with actionable immigration guidance.
