The relevant Foreign Affairs Manual notes have been updated to explain how Nunez-Reyes is not retroactive, but basically states that if the Federal First Offender Act issue comes up, the agent should seek an Advisory Opinion. At least one has advised to apply Lujan if the applicant will be seeking admission at a Port of Entry in the Ninth Circuit. See 9 FAM 40.21(a) N3.2-2 Expunging Conviction Under U.S. Law (CT:VISA-1784; 12-09-2011); 9 FAM 40.21(b) N4.1-3 Applying State Equivalents to 21 U.S.C. 844(b)(1) (TL:VISA-223; 12-12-2000); 9 FAM 40.21(b) N4.1-4 Requests for Advisory Opinions (CT:VISA-1008; 09-05-2008); 9 FAM 40.21(b) N4.1-6 Action After Conviction (CT:VISA-1790; 12-16-2011).
