I think you were foolish, not possessed of bad moral character, for the DUI. Failure to yield the right of way, same. And you were legal in the US. I think you will be OK. Obey the law.

It is likely your DUI will not result in your deportation. You should stay out of trouble. You should speak to a lawyer on your case since it appears you are already eligible to file for citizenship.

No one knows for sure, but you can do yourself a favor by hire a lawyer to have the 2011 conviction expunged in 2014.

If it was a simple DUI, you should not have a problem to renew your green card. You should have an immigration attorney review your case for a definite answer.

Your DUI should not affect your green card.

You need to show your court documents and immigration papers to an Immigration Attorney. The Attorney will be able to tell you if your conviction is a deportable offense. You could have your green card renewal denied depending on the type of coviction and your sentence. It sounds like you may not have a problem but it really depends on the details of your case. It is better to sure now before you renew your green card so you can know what your options are and be prepared. They will check your records when you renew your green card through the biometrics (fingerprint and records check appointment).

You should consult an immigration attorney I your area for specific information. You are asking two questions, 1. Can you be deported and 2. Can you be denied admissibility based on the DUI and new traffic ticket. Typically a traffic infraction is not moral turpitude, thus it along cannot have an immigration consequence.
