In this live Spanish‑language immigration Q&A, attorney Lorena Rivas answers a series of viewer questions about various U.S. immigration matters. She explains the essential evidence required to prove a bona‑fide marriage when a foreign national is married to a U.S. citizen, emphasizing joint residence, shared finances, joint bills, leases, and other documents that demonstrate a genuine relationship. She discusses the status of U‑visa applications filed in 2016‑2017, noting the annual cap of 10,000 visas, the typical processing backlog, and the availability of interim work authorization while waiting for a visa number. Rivas debunks a political rumor that Republican lawmakers would grant residency in exchange for voting, clarifying that immigration law changes require congressional action. She addresses a case where a derivative of a U‑visa holder was denied entry at a U.S. embassy, advising the viewer to contact her office for case‑specific review. The attorney outlines asylum filing rules, stressing the one‑year filing deadline, limited exceptions, and the risks of initiating asylum without a strong claim. She explains how prior arrests, deportations, or unpaid traffic tickets can affect moral‑character assessments and immigration benefits. Rivas clarifies the impact of leaving the U.S. without notifying USCIS on U‑visa renewal, noting that extended absences complicate renewal. She reviews the 245(i) protection, its applicability to individuals with petitions filed before April 30 2001, and how a family member’s death does not automatically extinguish the benefit. Throughout, she encourages viewers to contact her office for personalized consultations and promotes her presence on social media.
