In this multi‑platform live session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions about a wide range of U.S. immigration issues. She explains how individuals end up in ICE detention—either through direct ICE raids or after local police referrals—and outlines the two primary pathways to release: ICE‑issued bonds (when available) and immigration judge‑issued bonds, describing the factors judges consider such as criminal history, public‑charge risk, and length of residence. Rivas discusses eligibility for various forms of relief, including family‑based petitions for spouses, children (including the 21‑year‑old threshold), parents, and adult children, and provides timelines for filing. She clarifies the Visa U certification process, the need for police certification, and typical processing delays. The attorney addresses DACA concerns, including renewal, re‑entry after deportation, and the current freeze on new applications. She dispels myths about public charge and the impact of applying for government benefits, noting when such benefits may affect immigration cases. Rivas also covers how criminal convictions affect bond eligibility and overall relief options, and highlights military service as a possible avenue for parole and work authorization. Throughout, she offers practical guidance on contacting her office, consultation fees, and the logistics of remote or in‑person appointments across the United States.
