In this 1‑hour live streamed session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas fielded dozens of real‑time questions from viewers on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. She explained the limits of protection offered by Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Employment Authorization Documents (EAD), Visa U, Visa T and VAWA, emphasizing that none guarantee immunity from removal if the holder commits a serious crime. Rivas detailed the Visa U application workflow—including police certification, Form 918, I‑192 waivers, C‑14 work authorization, and the multi‑year wait for a concrete visa— and clarified timelines for VAWA (≈3‑4 years) and Visa T (≈1‑2 years). She addressed family‑based petitions (I‑130/I‑485), the 245(i) exception, and the importance of filing adjustment of status before travel. The attorney warned about checkpoint encounters, advising protected individuals to avoid unnecessary stops and to leverage pending applications for bond or relief. She also covered practical matters such as DUI impacts, travel after convictions, consular processing for parents, and the need for waivers for past fraud or unlawful presence. Throughout, Rivas promoted her Oklahoma City and Tulsa offices, provided multiple phone numbers, and reminded viewers of her daily live schedule on various radio shows and social platforms.
