    Default Citizenship - Previous Application Denied

    Hello my question about a new application for citizenship. I had previously applied for citizenship on August 7, 2007, but my application was subsequently denied. Per the leter received it was stated my application was denied as I did not meet the requirements for naturalization as provided for Title 8 C.F.F 316.10 (c)(1) and are not eligible under any other section of law.
    During my application filing I was on probation, and had not completed the terms and conditons given by the court. I was subsequently charged with another crime. However, I have completed the terms of both charges. One of the courts granted relief under California Penal Code 1203.4. The other court denied the expungement as it referenced the second case.

    If I reapply for citizenship, will this have an impact on my application being denied again. All terms and conditions for both sentences are complete and done. I have proof of completion and the court's relief for the second case.
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Yes, your criminal record will directly impact your application.

    How much longer should I wait to re-apply - My "green" card expires 9/12/2010. I have all the appropriate documentation that states I have completed my probation and was granted relief under one case.

    You haven't told us what you did.

    Certain felonies... especially violent ones... are not eligible for reapplication.

    One was a violation of California Penal Code 23152 (DUI) - reduced to a wet reckless and the other offense was violation 243(e)(1) battery. The battery charge was expunged
