VC 20002 A ( Hit and Run Damage to Property), Applying for US citizenship

I had a conviction of VC 20002 A (Hit and Run, Damage to Property) in March 2009. I had 2 years of court probation, book and release and restitution done. My case was expunged last March 2011. How can this case affect my application for US citizenship? I am about to apply for citizenship this year. Do I have to wait for another 5 years to have the "window for good moral character?" Is this deportable? What are the chances that my application will be denied? Thanks
 
Neither one would make you removal in the eyes of ICE, but the Hit & Run doesn't speak well to your GMC issue. Your case might have been expunged, but you will have to list the arrest and conviction on your application. I think your chances are about 50/50, with a lot depending on the mood of the USCIS officer that day.
