As a general rule, criminal history can affect applicant't eligibility for US citizenship through Naturalization. However, it's decided based on specific facts of each case.

Your post is not very clear on several moments:

- what you were charged with? what crime?

- found guilty of what?

- what was your sentence/punishment?

- when did this happen (dates)?

I suggest you schedule a consult off of the public forum.

Criminal Court? Well, if you are sure about that, yes, sometimes. Depends of it was felony or not. In all cases, is an obstacle. Anyway, you must await for the anwer. Is not possible to know the USCIS' answer until previous investigation and analysis of your case.

Any doubt or another question, let me know it please.
