1 ANSWER
A conviction during the five-year good moral character period can lead to denial of an application for naturalization. More specific information is needed about the criminal case before an assessment can be made. It would best to simply renew the green card and then file for naturalization after five years have passed. Consult an attorney for a more thorough assessment. In the interim, you can read more about naturalization at http://myattorneyusa.com/citizenship-and-naturalization.
