Applying for a green card with misdemeanor convictions on your record could mean deportation

Q: I am a permanent resident. Twenty years ago I was convicted of felonies and faced deportation. However, the immigration judge granted me a waiver. Since then, I have been convicted of two misdemeanors. I want to renew my expired green card. Should my misdemeanor convictions worry me?
