Being Married to a U.S. Citizen Does Not Protect You From a Denial
Most people in complicated cases believe one of two things: "My marriage is real — that's what matters." Or: "That issue was years ago. It probably won't come up."
USCIS doesn't see it that way. They look at everything — every visa, every entry, every prior application, every court filing, every attorney filing made on your behalf, correctly or not.
And here's what makes complicated cases so dangerous: A denial doesn't just set you back.
It goes on your permanent record. It can trigger a bar. It makes your next attempt harder — sometimes far harder.
I got denied four times before I became a lawyer. So when they try to take your family — I already know how to fight back.
My name is Andrew Thomas. I'm an immigration attorney and founder of MigrateUSA. Before I was an attorney, I was on the other side of this.
I know what it feels like to be told no without explanation. To have your future in someone else's hands. To do everything right and still get rejected.
That experience changed how I practice law. I don't treat immigration cases as paperwork exercises. I treat them as situations where real families — real marriages — are at stake. Where one detail nobody looked for quietly destroys an application that should have been approved.
My practice is exclusively U.S. immigration law. I work with couples across all 50 states and internationally — specifically the high-risk, high-complexity cases where a standard approach isn't enough.
In cases like yours, what you don't prepare for is exactly what USCIS will find.
We Review Everything
Most attorneys file first and deal with problems as they come up. We work the other way around.
Pull Your Complete Immigration History
Every entry, exit, visa, prior application, and court record — the full picture before a single document is submitted.
Identify Everything USCIS Will Flag
Including what you may not know is there. We find the details before the officer does.
Assess Your Real Eligibility
Not based on assumptions — based on your actual record. No guesswork, no shortcuts.
Map the Safest Path Forward
Whether that's filing, responding to an RFE, preparing for an interview, or addressing a prior denial.
Explain Everything in Plain Language
So you know exactly where you stand and why — before anything moves forward.
In Complicated Cases, Time Is Of The Essence
Waiting feels safe. In cases like yours, it usually isn't.
- → Unlawful presence bars have specific timelines — and they are already running
- → A prior removal order that isn't addressed before filing can reactivate and make things significantly worse
- → RFE and NOID responses have hard deadlines — miss them and the case closes
- → Being out of status longer reduces which pathways are still available to you
The couples hardest to help are not the ones with the most serious history.
They're the ones who waited until the options ran out.
