Eddy, I understand how you feel. From my experience, one of the lawyers I spoke with stated there is possibility to be renewing while your charges are pending. However if you send your renewal in now there's not guarantee it will be reviewed any time soon and if you get charge with the dui while your application is in review they can deny you. If your DACA has expired for longer than 6 months you have to renew as if it is an initial request. I advise you to consult with a experience lawyer or wait to see the outcome of your case. In my case I got charged with a misdemeanor dui. Did everything asked by the court (paid fees and dui classes) waited 2 years of my 3 year probation and request an early probation termination which was granted and than file for my expungement.

Congrats Vic, I just got my notification that my Daca was approved and my work permit was order and in processed. I waited a full year to get a response but well worth it. Thank you everyone for the support and sharing your experiences.

Hi everyone, I got my RFE and they are asking for evidence of my presence from 2007 to 2012. They didn't mention anything related to my expunge dui. I did send certified copies of my dui arrest and expungement with my renewal application back in March 2017. Ill keep you guys posted.

Hi Vic, Lori and Alby I just got notification of RFE today at 630 am. Via email. Not sure what else they need. I send alot of information in my package. Please let us know what they ask in the letter, I think Vic will recive his first. Ill will post as soon as I get mine in the mail.

Hi, Has any one hear back from USCIS yet? I am still waiting since 3/12/17.

Alby, Congrats on your approval. How long ago did you receive the similar letter stating that your case was on hold for security check. Also you said you contacted your congresswoman, how did you do that? I am very stressed out that my case is on hold. I live in California and had daca when it first came out. But then I got a dui and waited to reapply until my xpungement was complete. Is your case similar? I sent in my renewal in March this year.

Hi everyone After calling USCIS 1800 number and open a request to check the status of my application i received a letter stating the following. The status of this service request is:We have placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case.We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete.We hope this information is helpful to you I sent my application back in the beginning of march 2017. Has anyone heard of this before?

Hi, Lori The number is- 18003755283 make sure u listen to the automated options. Keep us updated. Stay positive.

Hi everyone, I called the 1800 number and I spoke to a clerk. I explain to her that it has been over 170 days since they recieved my application. She open a request and inform me that with in 30 days they should notify me with an update regarding my case. I will keep you guys updated Stay strong and hoping for the best outcome.

Alby , Congrats on getting approved that gives me hope on my case. Its just the waiting process that is too long. Hope for the best outcome for everyone. I look forward to hearing more positive updates.

Hi everyone I just wanted to know if any of you have received an answer from uscis. I sent my renewal with a expunged DUI back in February and did my biometrics in march. I am still waiting and hoping for the best outcome.
