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?

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.
