My opinion, you cannot establish good moral character during the statutory period after your conviction for a CIMT. Yes, doing the community service is your acceptance of guilt, that counts as a conviction, and if you get another one, you will be deported for multiple CIMT convictions.
You would have to wait another five years, start counting from the moment you were sentenced to community service and then apply for citizenship.
