In this live Spanish-language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a wide range of viewer questions about U.S. immigration relief options. She explains processing timelines for VAWA (approximately 18 months for the first approval, up to 3 years total), the purpose of fingerprinting for the I‑360 and subsequent steps, and how to adjust status without leaving the country using military parole, 245(i) protection, U and T visas, asylum, and the special juvenile visa. Rivas details U‑visa family inclusion (spouses and children under 21) and current processing delays (about 5‑8 years for work authorization and visa approval). She advises that asylum applications can provide work permits when credible fear exists, and discusses waivers for removal orders, the provisional 601A waiver (about 3‑2.5 years processing), and the impact of advance parole on permanent bars (it does not erase them). Additional topics include risks of deportation before a first court hearing, options for pregnant entrants, the limited protection a U.S.-born child offers, and how a U.S. citizen child over 21 can petition for a parent despite multiple unlawful entries. Throughout, Rivas emphasizes filing as early as possible, evaluating individual circumstances, and contacting her office for personalized assistance.
