unlawful detention

[briangabi]

I was convicted of unlawful detention. Is this a bar for me to apply for a US Naturalization? Is this a ground for deportation?

I did not serve any jail time. Only some fees, counselling and 18 months informal probation.

It depends on the precise statute involved and the exact wording of the sentence as well as the POTENTIAL sentence. Google for something like " immigration consequesnces of criminal convictions" numerous sites will pop-up.
