If there is no criminal complaint filed by the police and you have not been charged with any crime, your arrest should not affect your green card petition. However, if a criminal complaint has been filed against you, it could affect your green card, depending on what crime the District Attorney charges you with, and whether you are being charged as a misdemeanor or felony. If you have received a citation to appear in court on this arrest, I strongly suggest that you contact an attorney with experience in criminal and immigration matters.
