I was convicted of "disturbing public peace" misdemeanor. I'm going to apply for citizenship soon. Will this conviction affect my application? My criminal lawyer (not the immigration lawyer) told me it shouldn't.
 
If still unresolved (i.e. no verdict or dismissal yet) on the day of the interview, they will delay your citizenship process until the charges are resolved.

If it resulted in probation, they won't approve your citizenship case until after the probation is over.

When? If it is old it is pretty much irrelevant. If it is current (or recent) might be an issue. Only if 1.) you are currently on probation for it, or 2.) you were a probation violator, or 3.) if it was a severe or extreme thing you did in public (depends on what was involved), would it remain a real problem.

When you provide too little detail in a post, you invite wild speculation.

A few days ago you posted an essentially identical question under another username (porkman)

while an earlier posted by porkman said that he/she received U.S. citizenship back in Feb 2010:

So what is this really about? Are you posting a question for somebody else?
