If the criminal complaint was dismissed because your wife withdrew her complaint, it is likely that the event will not stand in the way of naturalization eligibility, but more information is needed in order to fully assess the impact of that conduct and that arrest upon naturalization eligibility. There really is no substitute for having an immigration attorney review the disposition documents relating to the arrest in order to be able to advise about these issues (and note that court-certified copies of all disposition documents will be required to be supplied to the USCIS as part of the naturalization application process).

You should bring back your marriage certificate, proof of termination of all prior marriages for both you and your husband, proof of your bona fide marriage such as photographs together, lease or deed, utility bills, telephone bills, banking statements, etc., your husband’s original I-797 H-1B approval sheet, his employment letter, proof of his recent pay, tax returns and H-1B petition copy.

Being given such stamp which usually means no adjustment of status/no changes status/no extension of status generally means that you would not be eligible to obtain an extension from U.S.C.I.S. if such as requested. That being said, if you can produce a letter from your physician that it would be unsafe for you to take an extended flight at your stage of pregnancy, you may still be able to obtain an extension. I also note that a timely application for extension of stay usually takes at least three months for U.S.C.I.S. to adjudicate. By the time that you receive the decision, you may already have delivered your child. If the answer is negative, you would only be barred from returning to the US if you stayed 180 days after the date of the decision.
