In this 2021 live broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas fields real‑time questions from viewers on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. She explains recent changes to the U‑visa program that now allow a work permit to be issued before the visa is fully approved, clarifies the difference between voluntary departure and a formal deportation order, and discusses who can apply for a U‑visa (including H‑2B workers who are crime victims). Rivas outlines the typical timeline for adjusting status through marriage to a U.S. citizen, the benefits and limits of DACA for domestic travel, and the severe consequences of a permanent bar (the 10‑year exclusion) while noting limited waiver options. She also covers VAWA self‑petition requirements, the process for renewing or obtaining an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and how criminal history or victim‑based cases affect eligibility. Throughout the session she repeatedly invites viewers to schedule a private consultation (phone: 918‑505‑4870) and provides her social‑media handles. The video serves as an informational overview of common immigration pathways, procedural timelines, and practical next‑steps for individuals seeking work authorization or status adjustment.
