Yes, this could affect your naturalization application. It may be best to consult an attorney in this case and even have them accompany you to the citizenship interview.

Depends what your imprisonment was for. There are certain crimes/convictions for which you may not be elligible to become a citizen. You should contact immigration attorney to evaluate your case and advise you if your past criminal conviction will be an obstacle for your naturalization and if yes, whether or not you are entitled to any waiver of past criminal convition.

If you need further help or advise, you can contact our law firm.

To be honest any imprisonment will affect the immigration service's decision with regard to whether you are granted US citizenship.
