In this live Spanish-language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a wide range of viewer questions about how arrests and criminal matters intersect with U.S. immigration processes. She explains the differences between an arrest, a conviction, and a plea, and how each can impact pending or future immigration applications. Specific topics covered include travel permits (advance parole) for DACA and VAWA beneficiaries, biometrics and work‑permit processing (I‑765), consular waivers (I‑601) for alleged smuggling at the Juárez consulate, evidence requirements for removing conditional residence (I‑751) especially in divorce cases, navigating VAWA applications when a permanent bar exists, eligibility and benefits of U and T visas, the effect of using a false Social Security number on a Visa U, checkpoint encounters under the current administration, and the importance of coordinating criminal and immigration counsel. Rivas also warns viewers about impersonator social‑media accounts, provides verified contact numbers for her firm (Rivas & Associates) in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Phoenix, and announces upcoming radio appearances. The session is conversational, supportive, and aimed at helping detained or previously arrested individuals understand their immigration options and avoid common pitfalls.
