In this live bilingual session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a stream of audience questions about various U.S. immigration benefits, with a focus on VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) cases. She explains typical processing timelines (approximately 3‑4 years for VAWA approval and adjustment of status), work‑permit eligibility, and the impact of biometric appointments. She clarifies the Visa T process for trafficking victims, noting an average 2‑year timeline and the possibility of interim work authorization. Rivas debunks recent rumors about upcoming changes to VAWA, emphasizing that the law requires no police report or physical injury and that abuse can be emotional or psychological. She discusses fraud investigations in New Jersey and California that have led to increased scrutiny and occasional interviews for VAWA cases. The attorney also addresses RFE (Request for Evidence) notices, prima facie decisions, and how to coordinate address changes for interview locations. Additional topics include DACA renewal clinics, emergency humanitarian parole, military parole, and the availability of her firm’s free or discounted legal services across Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. Throughout, she promotes community outreach, such as donating turkeys to a Tulsa elementary school, and provides contact information for further assistance.
