Do You Have a Chance to Be a U.S. Citizen with a Single Misdemeanor Conviction
I come to US 2011 since then i have green card. 2015 i charged with prostitution being a john. i worked out with lawyer and plead with obscene language in colorado law which is non cimt accourding to my immigration lawyer by that time. and the only penality is payed 1000 dollar fine, no probation or jail time or no suspended.
i don't want to wait for 5 years period. i want to apply for a citizenship now. how should i answer the question at interview if asked about the orginal charge. do they ask me to explain scene by scene. i don't want to say something about my original charge and get more chance to be denied. and i dont want to make the officer feel like i am a layer and get denied. how best can i explain it. shall i only talk about the one i plea gulity. orginal charge since my immigration lawyer by that time told me that they might take it like CIMT crime back on 2015. do i still have good chance of being approved.

You chose to commit a crime, and that makes it more difficult for anybody to reassure you about what is going to happen if you don't wait out the lookback period. Although the question is one of good moral conduct, as you've already been told by your immigration lawyer that it could be treated as severely as a CIMT, you have already been informed of the consequences of the charge during the lookback period. If you don't want to wait, you should again consult your immigration lawyer, as your lawyer knows the details of your situation.
