arrested in nov 2015 with domestic violence charges, physical abuse/bodily harm, later and before trial, got "disorderly conduct" plea offer

You may or may not have a problem with the arrest at the consulate or at the port of entry. Although your case was concluded with a disorderly conduct plea, that does not mean that a consular officer or immigration inspector cannot ask about the entire incident. Under U. S. immigration laws, an individual who applies for a visa or entry into the U. S. is considered inadmissible if he or she admits having committed or admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of an excludable offense. You should bring certified copies of the court disposition and be prepared to explain the circumstances of your arrest. I note that some consulates also require a certified copy of the police report.
