Will having a DUI and a Reckless Driving charge on your record effect whether your renewal gets denied or approved?

Potentially yes. A green card and an application for naturalization are subject to maintaining a "good moral character". Which is as vague as it sounds. It's up to the discretion of the officer managing your case.

Is it worth getting a lawyer before applying for the renewal? Or waiting to see if it’s denied and then obtaining legal counsel?

It's likely always worthwhile to get a professional opinion v. one off of the internet.

I completely agree. I was hoping someone would chime in with first hand experience of having a record and trying to renew. Thanks!

I believe felonies are the ones that count but USCIS can decide case by case.

Either a lawyer now or none as when you get denied, that will be a battle bigger than most mountains and probably a waste of money. Now is the time to spend to check for a good immigration lawyer.

There are so many immigration lawyers that take your money and do nothing. Check them out and see if there are any reviews, Bar comments, etc.

Don't waste your money.

Thanks Bentlebee. You always have great advice! I like reading your comments on real estate as well.
