In this 41‑minute live session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions in Spanish. She begins by clarifying the critical distinction between a formal deportation and a voluntary return (voluntary departure) when someone is apprehended at the U.S. border, explaining how each status triggers different bars, penalties, and the need for a waiver. Throughout the broadcast she addresses a wide range of topics: eligibility for T‑visas for trafficking victims and unpaid‑wage cases; marriage‑based petitions (I‑130) and the documentation required to prove a bona‑fide relationship; how a U‑visa holder can later include a spouse in the adjustment‑of‑status process; the current status of DACA applications and recent court rulings; public‑charge rule changes; TPS renewal uncertainty for Salvadoran nationals; the timeline for asylum applications and when a work permit can be filed; the severe 10‑year and 20‑year unlawful‑presence bars that apply after a deportation or extended illegal stay; the legacy 245(i) protection for petitions filed before April 30 2001; and practical matters such as appointment fees, virtual consultations, and how to contact the attorney. The session mixes instructional, conversational, and reassuring tones, aiming to empower viewers with concrete next steps and to encourage them to schedule a private consultation for personalized case analysis.
