đź’ˇ ÂżSabĂas que VAWA puede abrirte las puertas al ajuste de estatus? #abogada #shorts
In this Spanish-language YouTube short, attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about how long the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petition and subsequent adjustment of status (green card) process typically take. She explains that, based on current USCIS processing trends, VAWA approvals generally require about three years, while the adjustment of status to permanent residency adds roughly another year, totaling around four years. She references a specific case her office filed on November 1, 2021, which was approved in late 2024—approximately three years after filing—illustrating the typical timeline. The video’s purpose is to set realistic expectations for clients waiting for VAWA and residency approvals.
