Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

I am a student from Bangladesh. I was arrested on Feb 29th 2013 while in the US on F1 visa due to pulling the fire alarm on campus at the boarding school I was studying. After my arrest I was fingerprinted and given a court appearance ticket and it said I was charged of a grade E felony. I hired a lawyer and she proposed I plead guilty to disorderly conduct. The court accepted the proposition,hence I was charged of a violation and the matter ended in a non criminal disposition. My penalty was to pay a fine and surcharge. I am applying for F1 visa again as I have been accepted to a college in NY and my visa interview is in 2 days. I would like to know if the case hampers my chances to go back to the US and if I should present any paperwork related to the case on the interview. Thank you.
