In this Spanish‑language live session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions about U.S. immigration. She explains how criminal histories (moral‑turpitude offenses, drug, violent crimes, DUIs) influence the ability to adjust status, outlines typical processing times for work permits filed with asylum applications, and clarifies eligibility for VAWA and U‑visa relief for victims of domestic violence. The attorney discusses family‑based immigration pathways—including petitions by U.S. citizen siblings, parents, and children—while noting the citizenship requirement for sponsoring parents. She reviews the legacy 245(i) protection for petitions filed before April 30 2001, the associated fees, and the long waiting periods for Mexican siblings. Rivas also covers how to handle missed immigration court dates, options for reopening deportation orders (including pregnancy considerations), DACA eligibility criteria, adoption’s limited immigration impact, and the legal risks of removing an electronic monitoring device (grillete). Throughout, she provides practical instructions for scheduling a private consultation (phone 918‑505‑4870) and directs viewers to her social‑media channels. The session blends concise legal guidance with empathetic reassurance, offering viewers actionable next steps for their individual cases.
