i485 denied
A friend of mine i485 was denied after vawa was approved from 2023. He has not received the denial notice yet but he had a dui from 2023 also. He said the lawyer is awaiting the notice to take action. Do you guys know of approval after initial denial from a dui.

do you know if he had felony or misdemeanor charges and if you know if there’s any injury or property damage
also if you know what was filling date and which state

DUI appears to be the red flag and a very likely reason of denial unless there’s more to the applicants history. the applicant can appeal but in the time being he or she must prove by doing courses or rehab and get more letters for good moral character.

only one dui without injury or property damage 3 years ago shouldn’t be problem but if there’s mor criminal background can be really serious

@green card @Mein Gandu only one dui, no other criminal history, no property damages, no accident, no one was hurt. Filing date was from 2020. He did all the course, aa, probation and some test to get his license back in 2024. He lives in massachusetts but was adjudicate in Florida, dnt know why based on previous emails forwarded to him from his lawyer that the senator sent. It showed his i485 was at a Florida location.

alhamdullah AlhamdullahMay 14, 2026
@Love ❤️ also important question is that charge he has is it a felony!
can you provide me with the info I’ll try to help and did his case got dismissed after completing all court requirements!
alhamdullah AlhamdullahMay 14, 2026
@Love ❤️ also important question in which state did this happen!
Love ❤️May 14, 2026
@alhamdullah Alhamdullah I would have to ask him if its a felony or if the case was dismissed. I know he got 1 year probation, had to do couple hrs of AA and did some test to get back his license. It happened in Massachusetts.

@alhamdullah Alhamdullah hopefully by next week his lawyer will get the denial notice so he can see why he was denied.
Love ❤️May 14, 2026
@T A He filed vawa in 2020 got approved in 2023 and it was when his senator reached out to uscis 3 times they adjudicate the i485 with a denial.

@alhamdullah Alhamdullah was the approval with this administration or previous?
sins sanchezMay 15, 2026
@love keep us updated . I have a dui from 2017 and haven't had my vawa approved.
Love ❤️May 15, 2026
@sins sanchez will update you guys next week when his lawyer receives the denial notice
Love ❤️May 18, 2026
@alhamdullah Alhamdullah @green card, incomplete evidence that was submitted back in 2023. the disposition of the dui, the probation was not complete so they said insufficient evidence. His probation was completed in July of 2024 so it was imposed for the lawyer to send that in 2023. So I am hoping if the lawyer refiles or reopens the case he will get through. He definitely learned from his mistake and am hoping he gets a second chance.
alhamdullah AlhamdullahMay 20, 2026
@Love ❤️ so the denial notice was saying because insufficient evidence?
if so it’s way better and that’s good sign that means USCIS did not have enough evidence to prove the I-485.
Love ❤️May 20, 2026
@alhamdullah Alhamdullah yeah they needed the completion record of the probation. His lawyer is going to file motion to reopen.
alhamdullah AlhamdullahMay 20, 2026
@Love ❤️ okay that’s sounds good and don’t worry he will get approved
Love ❤️May 20, 2026
@alhamdullah Alhamdullah thank you he is so stressed out, I told him he got a second chance.
alhamdullah AlhamdullahMay 20, 2026
@Love ❤️ trust me I’m gonna be clear with you yesterday I had a individual hearing by the IJ for my I-485 and I had one of the most strict judges on the immigration court and I also had an old criminal record which it was solved and dismissed 9 years ago and yesterday I got approved on the spot and it went so smoothly. so tell him do not worry it will go through. and I’ll share my experience soon once I go to my next hearing which is the formal approval, it was supposed to be posted on the website yesterday but because of my BCR was not completed and the court did not get it, we did move in 2 weeks and the judge said if that’s all u have then you are granted. good luck.
so trust me just patience and time.
Love ❤️May 20, 2026
@alhamdullah Alhamdullah thank you, I'll let him know.
