In this live Spanish‑language Q&A, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a series of practical questions about U.S. immigration benefits. She explains that a U.S. citizen can file petitions for parents, children, spouse, and siblings at the same time, but each beneficiary requires a separate application. She clarifies the differing processing times for Form I‑131, distinguishing advance parole for travel from the military parole. She outlines VAWA eligibility, emphasizing that verbal or non‑physical abuse by a U.S. citizen spouse is sufficient, that a police report or restraining order is not required, and that the abusive spouse does not need to be involved in the petition. She announces the recent extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans who entered the U.S. before July 31 2023, describing the benefits of TPS. She discusses inadmissibility issues related to alcohol or drug problems, the requirement to complete an AA program, the need for a clean medical exam, and how DUIs or drug use can jeopardize a consular interview. She also shares the opening of a new office in Oklahoma City, providing phone numbers for scheduling consultations, and teases an upcoming segment on remedies for individuals with deportation orders. Throughout, she offers phone numbers (918‑505‑4870, 844‑37‑RIVAS, 405‑754‑2841) for direct assistance.
