If that is a valid question I would consult a lawyer

That depends on whether or not you were charged. I am referring to the law in California as an example, the law is similar in other states.

If you were charged with, "misdemeanor domestic battery," (any applied touch of force, push, slap, pulling hair, etc. even if it caused no visible injury,) for non-US citizens this is not considered a crime of violence for immigration purposes but it can delay the naturalization process.

If you were charged with, "felony domestic violence," (visible injury, bruises, cuts, head injury, visible trauma, etc.,) this is a crime of violence. For non-US citizens this can lead to deportation and denial of naturalization.
