Legal Question in Immigration Law in Tennessee

I am on F-1 visa. My girl friend is a US Citizen. We are planing to get married soon. here is my issue, i got a DUI on Oct 25, 2008. my lawyer advised me to plead guilty so the charges will be reduced. On Jan 13, 2008 i was convicted with driving Reckless. since then i have completed my 6 month probation, payed the fines and the Alcohol school( there was nothing else). I was not aware of the immigration consequences when i plead guilty neither my lawyer mentioned it to me. Could you please help me to be aware of the consequences and what to expect when i apply for adjustment of status? what would be the most efficient way to handle this?

Thank you

Sincerely,

Nate
