Lawful Permanent Resident Status Achieved After Prior Denial – Matter of D.G.H.

Navigating the immigration process can be challenging, especially when an initial attempt is marred by poor legal preparation. In the case of D.G.H., a native and citizen of Mexico, his first application for permanent residence through marriage to a U.S. citizen was denied due to the errors made by a previous attorney. However, with the guidance of the Law Office of Alexander R. Vail, D.G.H. was able to successfully reapply for adjustment of status and secure lawful permanent resident status without the need for an interview. This case highlights how thorough legal expertise and attention to detail can turn a denied case into a successful one.

PERMANENT RESIDENCE ACHIEVED AFTER PRIOR DENIAL Matter of D.G.H. (2025)

D.G.H. is a native and citizen of Mexico who had hired an attorney to help him try to obtain permanent residence based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen. Because that attorney did a poor job in preparing the adjustment of status packet, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) denied D.G.H.’s Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (“Form I-485”). Very distraught, D.G.H. consulted with Alex on how to proceed. Alex explained what mistakes were made by prior counsel and how to remedy them the second time around.

Accordingly, with Alex’s assistance, D.G.H. applied for adjustment again, and this time USCIS granted the application without even having D.G.H. come in for an interview. D.G.H. is now a lawful permanent resident of the United States.
