In this multi‑platform live session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas greets a Spanish‑speaking audience on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook and offers free, on‑the‑spot case reviews. She fields a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions covering a wide range of U.S. immigration topics: eligibility and mechanics of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self‑petition, family‑based petitions for spouses, children and parents, fiancé (K‑1) visas, Diversity Visa lottery, DACA renewals, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extensions, U‑visa victim‑of‑crime relief, asylum, parole, work permits, and waivers. Rivas explains the core requirements for VAWA (marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, or a U.S. citizen child over 21; abuse can be physical, emotional, verbal or financial; no police report or divorce needed) and emphasizes that the petition can be filed without leaving the U.S., keeping the case confidential. She also provides practical timelines (e.g., 6‑8 months for K‑1 approval, 10 months to 5 years for family petitions depending on circumstances), outlines documentation needs, and clarifies common misconceptions (e.g., need for a police report, requirement of physical abuse). Throughout the session she repeatedly shares her office phone numbers (844‑377‑RIVAS, 877‑37‑RIVAS, 918‑505‑4870), notes that her firm operates nationwide from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and invites viewers to schedule a free case review. The tone is conversational, supportive, and promotional, aiming to educate while marketing her legal services.
