I applied for my Citizenship back in August of 2007. A month after I got stopped 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!

My understanding is that a first offense DUI misdemeanor should not disqualify you for consideration for citizenship nor revoke your green card. Not complying with the process is definitely not a good idea. After all, if you're not going to play by the rules, what should they think? Your DUI will be listed when you apply whether it's now or later.
