USCIS normally requires at least 5 years good moral character after a disqualifying event such as a DUI, criminal conviction or the like. My advice would be to wait a little longer, get a good lawyer and try again in a year or two.

There shouldn't be any impact on your GC renewal since you do not have a felony conviction.

I second boatbod's suggestion. Please go with a experienced lawyer when you get into trouble with the law.

Just a few Questions:

What happened at the interview ? Did the officer say anything at the end of the interview why a decision is not made at that time ? On the N-652 what did the officer check off ?
