hey guys. just seeking advice. i got a dwi back in 2015. havent renewed because i dont qualify. im thinking of taking a shot and renewing but im afraid ill get denied, and all lawyers tell me not to do it. ive stayed out of trouble and it was the biggest mistake of my life. never thought this would affect me for the rest of my life, and i wasnt even told this would affect my daca. according to the lawyer given to me, she said immigration does not look at misdemeanors. guess she wasnt too educated on DACA. i am in NYC and "expungement" does not exist here. wanted to know has anyone ever gotten approved WITHOUT expunging their case. ive got an associates and currently in the process of pursuing my BSN. (nursing) however i cant do that without any documents. any advice??? thanks!

Hello everybody I have a question and hopefully anyone can help me. I put my DACA application on August 2017, in September 2017 I got my appointment for my finger prints, in the application I didn't put anything for my work history as that worked with other names. I only worked with another name that wasnt mine the ssn and name were real, and I worked with my name but with fake SSN and fake birthdate and I didn't put that on the application. Would that affect me? Is that going to affect me? What should I do? Please if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

sorry, double post

I applied for advanced parole early last year.  I got approved and went to Mexico in late April.  My wife petitioned for me in July of 2017 (i485 since my i130 was already submitted and approved).  In August we got a letter stating that I needed a sponsor because my wife's income was not enough.  That same month I went through that "immigration physical" to make sure I had all of my shots and no TB.  Mayor tip, don't loose your immunization card because you might end up paying through the nose for shots you may or may not have gotten after high school.  I found a school friend that was able to sponsor me and sent back complete documents in September of 2017.  On April 10th of 2018 we got the notice an interview date had been selected for my i485 case.  My interview date was May 15th, 2018.  I received a notice on May 18th that my i485 case was approved and I now have permanent residency for 10 years.  Finally!! After being in the U.S since I was 4 years old, I have my permanent residency.  I will update my timeline later but feel free to ask me any questions regarding advanced parole and any of the processes that follow.  Again, if it weren't for this site that answered many of my questions when I first applied for DACA back in 2012, none of this would be possible.  Thanks you to everyone that answered my dumb questions and everyone that is on here sharing the knowledge about these processes to the masses.

Were you able to get it approved for renewal again?  I am currently going through the similar as well. My original DACA expired back in 2014 and I tried renewing, but was denied due to DUI. So, I just recently got my DUI expunged and trying to reapply for DACA again, but not as a "renewal" but as an "initial applicant" since my original expired more than 2 years ago. After reading your thread previously that you were able to get approved after DUI expungement, it gave me hope! I reached out to few lawyers and they were sure that I was going to get denied again so I was hesitant. I'm not sure if I should answer "Yes" or "No" for the question asking if I have EVER been arrested for, charged with any significant misdemeanor.. Any help please?
