Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

I got charged with possession of marijuana at the age of 17. The judge lessened the charge to paraphernalia in order for me to be able to drive. I applied for my US citizenship but they denied it because of the paraphernalia charge. If it was possession, then it would be okay. But since the original charge was possession, is there anyway to fix this problem? They said I can appeal it.
