Client had been arrested and convicted of 5 intoxication related crimes (DWI, Public Intoxication, etc.). Attorney Noaman filed the adjustment of status application for him and his wife, based on § 245(i). USCIS requested evidence from a medical doctor that he was no longer an alcoholic, since alcohol abuse can be classified as a “mental disorder,” and when coupled with harmful behavior, it can make the applicant inadmissible. With Attorney Noaman’s help, client was able to get this confirmation, and prove that client had been rehabilitated. USCIS ultimately approved this case.
