Expungement & misdemeanor cases - Page 8

Sorry for all the questions...

Are you in removal proceedings because of the criminal conviction? Or some other reason?

And good luck with everything. But it looks like DHS is already exercising PD on you by not keeping you in custody. That is a good thing. That means they don't see you as a public safety threat even after the conviction.

ICE came to pick me up 2 years after my conviction. have been in removal proceedings since beginning of last year. they said it had nothing to do with my conviction, but why else would they come.

Yeah. ICE knew you existed because of the court and arrest records. Did they hold you for a while? Are you EWI? Have US Citizen or Permanent Resident relatives?

Once again, sorry for all the questions. I'm very intrigued with your case. I have a criminal record. No felony but one is a dui that is also expunged. Haven't applied for daca cause I am waiting for the provisional waiver. Hoping to get a green card from my USC wife petitioning me... But if cases like yours get approved, I think I will take a shot at applying for DACA while the provisional waiver goes in place...

they held me for a couple of hours to fill out forms and answer questions, maybe 2-3 at most. They let me go on my OR, i think i am most likely EWI and have no relatives to petition for me

I remember ICE coming to my house looking for my cousin several years ago, he had been convicted on 2 separate events.

EWI means entered without inspection. Meaning you came without a visa.

And wow. I think you are blessed. And the fact that you have been in removal proceedings that long and released on OR is a great sign. I think you will be approved. In my opinion, you have shown DHS that you are trustworthy and not a threat. That should improve your chances of getting approved for DACA.

i go to check in with them once a month every month since i was picked up. and yes i am EWI. this hearing was supposed to be my last, the judge said there would be no more extensions, but now shes given an 8 month extension. i always wondered why they didnt come pick me up right after my conviction, my lawyer said it was because i was no threat to the public so i wasn't a top priority for them

The extensions were to wait on DACA I'm assuming. And yeah, you are no threat. If they thought you were, you would be gone!

I'm happy for you...

thank you, hope all goes well for you as well

Thanks and keep us updated!
