Just wanted to share with you all that we got APPROVED! We didn’t think we’d get approved this soon, much less have our interview at all by now. We were way under quoted processing times.
USC Marriage-based AoS
Chicago Field Office
130, 485, 765, and 601 filed concurrently
Filed Date Sept 6, 2018
Can’t wait for the card to be produced and mailed! For all of you waiting, keep the faith and best of luck!

It says right there you have a misdemeanor conviction; even if you just paid a $100 fine, you are found guilty - in court - of a crime.
They will specifically ask about being arrested, cited, or charged in your adjustment application as well as if you are convicted of a crime. Now, a misdemeanor offense like that probably won't have some massive bearing on your case, but you will need to disclose it in full. They'll probably take a contextual "overall" view of it: what did you obstruct and how? Was it related to your document/fraud? Even if not arraigned, it would raise flags I would imagine.
Drug offenses are seriously frowned upon, but you weren't convicted.
Either way, I am NOT a lawyer, but I would still recommend getting a copy of the actual charges/filing from the jurisdiction and give them to your atty. Fraud/misrep to a government official is a big deal to immigration, as is anything drug related. And you do have a conviction on your record though (thankfully) not for either of the aforementioned situations. If you're super concerned, talk to an atty about filing a waiver concurrently with your adjustment of status package to speed the process along (meaning you don't have this come up at the interview THEN file for a waiver THEN wait longer).
