Whether serving time in jail prevents a person whose conviction has been expunged from qualifying under Lujan-Armendariz is an open question in the Ninth Cir. See, Ramirez-Altamirano v. Holder, 563 F.3d 800 (9th Cir. 2009). See also, Fernandez-Bernal v. Attorney General of U.S., 57 F.3d 1304 (11th Cir 2001) (relief under FFOA 3607(b) is not available to an individual sentenced to a term of probation that exceeds one year; nor is it available to anyone sentenced to jail time).
