Yes, your case will be denied and you will need to leave the US(unless you still have some temporary visa status that is valid).  There is an exception if there was spousal abuse.

What can I do if I am an American citizen and I want to call my parents to America to live with me?

Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You can file immigrant petitions for your parents. Aside from your United States Citizenship, you will have to show proof of your blood relationships with your parents (your birth certificate listing both of them as your parents should suffice), and your ability to support them financially so that they will not become a public burden. For instance, if you live alone, you would have to show that your 2012 income was over $23,863; if you have already 1 dependent, your income has to be over $28,813, and so on. Before you begin spending money on the petitions, make sure that nothing prevents your parents from receiving immigrant visas (no history of United States Immigration law violations, no disqualifying criminal convictions, no communicable diseases, etc.) If everything will be done right, your parents should be able to join you in about 12-18 months.

I did not mention my juvenile arrest on my n400. If I ask the officer to amend the application and provide documents can I still get denied

An applicant for naturalization must exhibit good moral character which includes telling the truth on a naturalization application. Good moral character is required for the period of residence required to apply for naturalization. In most cases, the time required is five years, and for those married to US citizens and residing together without break, three years. If the juvenile arrest occurred during the period of time required for good moral character, the application will be judged upon the seriousness of the offense; how long ago it occurred; and whether there has been any rehabilitation (if applicable), etc. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
