In this live, multilingual Q&A session, U.S. immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a series of viewer questions about pathways to legal status for undocumented individuals and their families. She explains how the 10‑year unlawful‑presence bar may affect eligibility for tourist visas, and outlines family‑based options for parents who have U.S.‑born children turning 21, including adjustment of status under 245(i) and other family petitions that can be processed without leaving the United States. Rivas discusses the best approach for a Colombian citizen planning to marry a U.S. citizen, clarifying that the marriage can occur in either country and that a tourist visa may expedite the process, while noting that adjustment of status through marriage typically takes about a year. She provides updates on processing times for VAWA‑based I‑360 approvals, U‑visa and T‑visa applications (approximately one year, with COVID‑related delays), and the ability to include spouses and children in those petitions. The attorney also advises on COVID‑19 vaccine choices for consular appointments in Juárez, recommending against the AstraZeneca vaccine. Throughout, she emphasizes the importance of evaluating each case individually, encourages viewers to contact her office (844‑377‑RIVAS) for personalized consultations, and reiterates that U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings, while permanent residents may sponsor spouses and unmarried children.
