In this segment, attorney Lorena Rivas addresses a caller named Emir, a DACA recipient who was married to a U.S. citizen and experienced domestic violence in 2012. Emir has three children, full custody, and is now divorced. Rivas explains that if Emir’s divorce occurred less than two years ago, he may be eligible to adjust his immigration status based on the marriage. If the divorce is older than two years, she advises exploring alternative relief options: a U‑visa for victims of qualifying crimes such as domestic violence, or a T‑visa for victims of human trafficking, which can sometimes be linked to abusive relationships. The advice focuses on assessing eligibility criteria and identifying appropriate immigration remedies.
