In this live, multilingual session Lorena Rivas, Esq., an immigration attorney based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, fields a rapid‑fire series of viewer questions across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. She repeatedly emphasizes that her firm serves clients nationwide and provides the toll‑free number (844‑377‑RIVAS) for consultations. The discussion covers a wide range of immigration topics: - How long family‑based adjustment of status (spouse of a resident or citizen) or consular processing takes (from about 1 year up to 4 years, depending on case specifics). - Eligibility for undocumented individuals to travel domestically or by air, and the risks of traveling to Puerto Rico. - Options for parents with U.S. citizen children over 21, including filing I‑130 petitions, 245(i) protection, and other avenues that allow adjustment without leaving the U.S. - Differences between marrying abroad vs. in the U.S., and the impact of entering on a tourist visa. - Visa U and Visa T eligibility criteria, processing times (roughly 1 year, with COVID‑related delays), and the need for a police certification for U‑visas. - VAWA (I‑360) approval steps, subsequent adjustment of status, and how prior removal proceedings affect the process. - Impact of criminal convictions such as DUIs on residency applications. - Renewal of green cards (I‑90) and use of “InfoPass” appointments for travel while renewal is pending. - Specifics about other family‑based petitions (I‑130 for spouses, children, parents; limitations on petitioning grandparents). - Use of advance parole for DACA recipients, and the importance of filing I‑131 before travel. - General advice on timelines for sibling petitions, special juvenile visas, and the effect of age (21‑year threshold) on priority dates. Throughout, Rivas stresses the need for a personalized case review, offers free initial consultations, and repeatedly invites viewers to call or schedule appointments. The session ends with a reminder of her social‑media presence and contact information.
