In this live, Spanish‑language broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions about U.S. immigration law. She explains how to obtain a notarized guardianship letter for a child left with a sibling, the differing sponsorship powers of U.S. citizens versus permanent residents, and confirms that marrying an undocumented person does not jeopardize one’s own citizenship. Rivas outlines the strict eligibility criteria for asylum—credible fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or a particular social group—and notes the difficulty of winning such cases. She discusses court backlogs caused by COVID‑19, urging early filing of relief applications. The attorney provides rough timelines for marriage‑based petitions, clarifies that no waiting period is required before a citizen can sponsor a spouse, and describes options for individuals with past deportations or long unlawful presence, including waivers and pardons. She identifies DACA eligibility for those who entered before age 16 and before June 15 2007, and the Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) pathway for abandoned or abused minors. Rivas also explains how military service (e.g., National Guard) can enable parole for parents, and details protections for victims of domestic violence through VAWA, U‑visa, and T‑visa programs. Travel advice is given for work‑permit holders, emphasizing the need for proper documentation and caution when flying to border airports. Throughout, she repeatedly shares her contact information (918‑505‑4870) and social‑media handles, encouraging viewers to schedule private consultations for personalized case analysis.
