i was arrested a few years back because my Best Friend and i decided to shoplift, even though i got too scared and put the stuff back she still took it and got caught. we went to jail and were processed, she got bailed out right away and i spent a weeked in jail since my dad wanted to teach me a lesson, i got lucky because in the state where im from they deport you monday morning if you're illegal but for some reason that morning i got skipped by the guard and bailed out by my parents a little later that day. i had to get a lawyer and do lots of community service in order for the misdemeanor to get expunged so it wouldn't stay in my record, and since i was under 21 i qualified for an underage program that allowed you to get your act together . later on DACA came along and i worked hard to pay both my lawyer and save for my DACA gotmy Biometrics in Aug, have been waiting anxiously for 8 months hoping they would Approve me and last night i received an email for my surprise i had been approved for both, i am truly blessed and very greatful and by my experience i would tell EVERYONE to not lose hope!!! even if you made a mistake like mine, you have to keep your hopes up and pray because during this process you need a lot of patience and Faith!!
