My friend's case...

But what I wonder is if the USCIS IO will also bother to checkout this
maximum imposable sentence on their own?
The interviewer won't personally check out those sentencing details, but all applications involving arrests or convictions are referred to the supervisor who will either investigate those details him/herself or refer the case to USCIS lawyers.

Most tricky part about maximum possible sentence is most states defined
felony to be a crime punishment is more than 365 days. But Immigration
law defines CIMT to be deportable if maximum possible sentence is
365 days or longer. That one day overlap cause many minor crimes to become deportable.

I believe this may not be the original intent when these immigration law were made but once they were made they have to be followed literally
