¿Qué Sigue Después De Las Huellas? l #inmigracion
In this short segment, a Spanish‑speaking client contacts an immigration attorney after having completed fingerprinting (huellas) for a pending immigration case. The client asks what the next steps are, noting that her spouse is "arreglando" (processing) her case since March 2022 and that she has not received any updates. The attorney explains that there are two primary pathways forward: (1) filing an adjustment of status application (Form I‑485) to remain in the United States, or (2) pursuing a waiver (perdón) through consular processing, which also requires fingerprints but typically takes longer and obligates the applicant to leave the country for an interview abroad. The attorney emphasizes that both routes involve fingerprinting, but the consular route is slower and requires departure from the U.S.
