In this live, multilingual session the immigration attorney (Lorena Rivas, Esq.) answers a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. She explains that adjustment‑of‑status (I‑485) cases are often approved on the day of the interview with the green card arriving within 2‑3 weeks. She clarifies that voluntary departures at the border are not automatically disqualifying; the dates and circumstances must be examined to determine eligibility for a green card or work permit. She stresses that merely holding an employment authorization document (EAD) does not grant a path to residency, though it can be part of a pending adjustment case. The attorney discusses extensions of conditional residency and the need to file appropriate petitions. She emphasizes that her firm can represent clients nationwide via Zoom and other remote tools. Specific family‑based scenarios are addressed: a 92‑year‑old mother with a tourist visa can be sponsored by her citizen brother; a minor sibling can travel with a baby; a daughter over 21 can sponsor parents; DACA recipients can be adjusted through marriage to a citizen. Finally, she outlines the U‑visa for crime victims, noting that even individuals with drug convictions and prior deportations may qualify if they can demonstrate victim status and cooperation with law enforcement. Throughout, she offers contact information and encourages viewers to schedule private consultations for detailed case analysis.
