Here are the stats.

Received DACA 2012.

Received a DUI in Rhode Island 2014.

Submitted by an Attorney, applied for renewal in 2014 despite the rules indicating bar for significant misdemeanors(probably a cash grab by the attorney). 

2014 received denial due to DUI

2017 Moved to another state and married

2021 Completed a motion to expunge in R.I. And was granted.

 

I understand that for immigration purposes expungements are typically viewed favorably but the charge sticks. It is by case by case basis for DACA not a bar. So the question is should I include supporting documents such as character affidavits, parental status, etc and/or letter to the case officer when I submit a renewal packet? Or does that not have weight?

Sounds as though it wouldn't hurt.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

DUI is considerded a Significant Misdemeanor, so probably not a cash grab

It’s a cash grab if the attorney knew that it wouldn’t get approved cause it is a significant misdemeanor and still completed the packet at a fee. 

 

Its considered a new application, which due to the court ruling is not being accepted. A lot of news  has popped up about updated rules. No change on application acceptance.
