In this short Spanish‑language video, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas explains that a VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petition does not automatically cancel an existing deportation order. However, a person subject to a deportation order can still seek a waiver (perdón) that is tied to the abuse they suffered, and if that waiver is granted they may then adjust status to obtain lawful permanent residence. The attorney emphasizes that VAWA can be approved despite a deportation order, but residency will only be granted after successfully obtaining the appropriate waiver. The video concludes with the firm’s tagline, positioning Rivas y Asociados as immigration lawyers who empower immigrants.
