In this short Spanish‑language video, attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about a mother who has an outstanding removal (deportation) order in absentia but also holds Temporary Protected Status (TPS), while the viewer’s grandmother is a U.S. citizen. The lawyer explains that the mother must first have her immigration court case reopened to vacate the removal order. She notes that a citizen parent can sponsor the mother for adjustment of status, but if the mother is already an adult the process can be lengthy. Consequently, the attorney suggests evaluating whether the parent‑sponsorship route is the best strategy or if other avenues exist to regularize the mother’s status.
