Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. First of all, since we do not have all the facts, it is not really possible to answer with complete accuracy. How old were you when you were convicted? Were you convicted in Juvenile or Adult Court? What was the exact charge that you were convicted of? Is your spouse a U.S. citizen? I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options. Also, be sure to bring any records or documents you have pertaining to your criminal history for the attorney to review.

If you were convicted of any felony, you are not eligible for DACA. The only way to know for certain whether you were convicted of a felony or not is to look at your conviction records.
