In this live Spanish-language Q&A, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (Rivas y Asociados) answers a wide array of immigration questions from viewers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. She introduces her practice, provides contact information, and outlines the weekly format of her live sessions. The core focus of the session is the immigration options available to parents who have a U.S. citizen child who is 21 years old or older. Rivas explains eligibility criteria, the role of the child’s citizenship, and the various legal pathways—including adjustment of status, the VAWA self‑petition, provisional forgiveness (I‑601A), 245(i) protection, military parole, and consular processing. She also addresses procedural timelines for VAWA, I‑601A, work‑permit renewals, I‑485 adjustments, and visas for victims of trafficking (T/U) and Special Juvenile Status, offering typical processing times (e.g., 3‑3.5 years for VAWA, ~9 months for work‑permit renewal, ~1 year for T‑visa green cards). The attorney discusses the impact of criminal records (DUI, reckless driving) on immigration cases, clarifies the difference between voluntary departure and deportation, and provides guidance on expediting cases, correcting filing errors, and rescheduling biometric appointments. Throughout, she emphasizes the importance of consulting an attorney, promotes her firm’s phone numbers (844‑37‑RIVAS, 918‑505‑4870) and social‑media presence, and invites viewers to schedule consultations. The session ends with announcements of future live appearances on radio programs.
