Probably yes. It's likely a crime of moral turpitude, a category of crimes that makes one inadmissible and requires a waiver. That waiver is discretionary and not easy to get. I couldn't tell you with certainty whether your conviction makes you inadmissible without knowing the exact statute you pleaded guilty to and your sentence. I strongly suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney before applying for any immigration benefits.
