DUI Conviction VS Citizenship:
I applied for my Citizenship back in August of 2007. A month after I got stop with a DUI. They Sent me letters for me to get my fingerprints since it's my only DUI I was very afraid and never went. Now they sent me a letter saying I abandoned my application and I will have to pay again to file a new application. Since I'm on probation should I wait until my 3 year probation is terminated? Will my abandonment make me deportable? Please advise. What should I do? I'm really scared!

You would have saved yourself a lot of worry and trouble if you had sought out the advice of an immigration lawyer.
A DWI in and of itself will not cause you to loose your shot at Citizenship, assuming you have a green card. It is not a deportable offense, however you need to address the issues with an immigration lawyers (you can find a bunch of good ones in your state right here on AVVO.Com) If you are without papers or overstayed your visa, deportation is possible anyway, hence get to a immigration lawyer right away and then you will not have to worry anymore.
