It might lead to a finding of a lack of good moral character, meaning that you would have to wait 5 years from the date of the shoplifting incident to file for naturalization. But if you have other things to support your otherwise good moral character...

The 5 years of progressive experience should come after you obtained your bachelor's degree. This is because that experience should build your bachelors degree up to a masters. Also the experience should have been obtained at the time the labor certification was filed. There's a popular misconception that you can use experience from your employer. In fact, experience that the sponsored employee (you) gained from the sponsoring employer can not be counted toward any of the experience...
