In this 2025 live YouTube Q&A, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics. The central theme is the reassurance that a child born in the United States remains a citizen regardless of the parents’ immigration status, a point she backs with constitutional references and recent case law. She then moves through practical procedural guidance: typical processing times for family petitions (I‑130) filed by permanent residents versus citizens, expected timelines for adjustment of status through marriage or K‑1, and the impact of pending VAWA, U, and T visa applications on work permits and travel. Rivas clarifies common confusions about combo‑card/parole entry, the possibility of holding simultaneous VAWA and T‑visa cases, and the need for waivers (I‑601) when permanent bars exist. She addresses specific scenarios such as missed biometric appointments, lost work permits, DACA/Advance Parole holders seeking family‑based relief, and the risks associated with ICE appointments. Throughout, she emphasizes the importance of consulting an experienced immigration lawyer, provides her firm’s contact number (844‑37‑RIVAS), and promotes her social‑media presence for further assistance. The session blends conversational tone with instructional detail, aiming to empower immigrant viewers with accurate, actionable information.
