What are my chances of obtaining a green card/ apply for permanent residency while on probation?

Business 7 views 3 answers
I am currently a beneficiary of the DACA program, I was granted a work permit which will expire in 01/18. Due to making a wrong decision, I was arrested back in 07/16 and sentenced for a DUI under charge 23152b and given a 36 month probation period in 12/16 I will finish the ab541 program (3 month) within the next month and pay all fines and fees. I was not charged with any other charges and this is my first dui measdemenor and first time arrested. I never had any other run on with the police other than traffic tickets which are all paid I am in the process of getting married with my girlfirend of 5+ years who is a US Citizen and wanted to apply for adjustment of status since I no longer qualify for Daca. What are my chances of obtaining a green card/ apply for permanent residency while on probation? Or would I have to wait until my probation is over? Could I be granted a work permit?

I believe this has been posted before, and I suggested it go to the immigration forum, as its not a criminal defense question.

I will reclassify this under Immigration. Did you have a lawyer represent you on the DUI? Were the immigration consequences explained? What was your Blood Alcohol percentage? If it was low, you should have gotten a wet reckless.... Anyway, i am sure you are not the only DACA beneficiary with this issue. It is too soon to ask the court to terminate your probation. However, after 18 months, you may have a chance of getting it terminated by having a lawyer file a Motion. Good luck!
