In this Spanish‑language livestream recorded on July 4, 2021, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid series of viewer questions submitted via Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. She explains how various immigration remedies work, gives rough processing‑time estimates, and outlines the steps a client must take to start a case. Topics covered include VAWA applications (about 2‑2.5 years for a green card, 6 months for a work permit), the different types of waivers and when they are needed, family‑based petitions (marriage, divorce, VAWA‑based self‑petition, reunification, adoption), the distinction between adjustment of status and consular processing, work‑visa categories (H‑2B, H‑1B, L‑1, TN, O‑1, EB‑5), special programs such as DACA, U‑visa, asylum, parole for medical emergencies, and the impact of prior deportations or unlawful presence bars. She also gives practical advice on obtaining the alien registration number (A‑number), dealing with COVID‑related appointment delays, and how to schedule a consultation (phone 918‑505‑4870, social‑media handles @abogadalorena and @abogadalorenarivas). The tone is conversational and supportive, aiming to demystify complex immigration law for a lay audience.
