I have been reading your posts for quite a while and you seem very knowledgeable. I want to get your insight in my case. Here is my story:
I came to the US on a student visa in 99. Went to school till 01 and dropped out when I met and married a US citizen. She was very abusing (emotionally and financially) and caused me to stop going to school to support her (she of course didn't have no income for the 864). I couldn't find a joint sponsor and we went to the interview when they told us to bring the 864. I still couldn't get a sponsor. So a couple of months later, they called us for a second interview, and by that time I had had enough and told her it was over and she moved out of my house and went back to Texas. I went to the interview alone, and they denied my application. Lawyers told me I could reopen the case or appeal it, but I didn't wanna have anything to do with her. So i said no...Fast forward, 2006. I met a wonderful girl, with her life together. We got married in May 08 and applied for AOS. Unlike the first time, we have bank accounts, insurances, car title, lease, plane tickets, 864, pictures jointly. But I am still very apprehensive about the interview because of my first case AND because of an arrest for working in a shop that was selling counterfeit stuff. I was only a worker there and I plead guilty to disorderly conduct back in 06.
What do you think about my new case? Are my worries legitimate? Will I have a tough time at the interview?
Thanks a lot for your time.
 
I assume you divorced the first wife before marrying the next one?

You probably will have a tough time at the interview, because you were out of status and you have a conviction. That doesn't mean you will be denied; you just have to be prepared for a potentially hostile interviewer, and make sure you have all the relevant documentation with you in case it is asked for, including the court disposition for that disorderly conduct incident.
