In this live, multi‑platform broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid stream of viewer questions while highlighting recent administrative changes under the Biden administration. She explains that Attorney General Merrick Garland has rolled back Trump‑era asylum restrictions, making it easier to file asylum claims, though approval remains challenging. She announces a new rule for U‑visa applicants that allows USCIS to issue employment authorization automatically once a case shows all required elements, dramatically shortening the wait for work permits. Rivas confirms that VAWA processing times remain unchanged, outlines DACA eligibility even for individuals with removal orders, and clarifies timelines for DACA applications. She discusses marriage‑based green card petitions, emphasizing joint tax filing as evidence of a bona‑fide marriage, and explains how divorce affects pending family petitions. She provides guidance on re‑filing a 212 waiver, the impact of fingerprints, and typical processing windows for various benefits. Throughout, she promotes her private practice, offering a contact number (918‑505‑4870) for appointments, and directs viewers to her social‑media handles. The session covers asylum, U‑visa, VAWA, DACA, marriage, waivers, and general procedural advice, delivering practical, supportive counsel to a diverse audience.
