Forget citizenship, you are staring down at potential deportation.

You need to get a really, really good lawyer. Or, has he already been convicted and sentenced?
If the latter, was it a summary conviction or indictment, and what was the sentence?

And there is no recourse to an appeal to the IAD as DUI constitutes serious criminality per the amended criminal code, and rehabilitation is not automatic after 10 years....
Deportation only comes into effect if you have been sentence imprisonment otherwise it may delay his citizenship but not deportation. automatic deportation only happens if you are sentenced for more than 6 months
how about your oath taking? are you affected with this? did they have your oath on hold too?
in a family, if one is facing criminal charge but did not apply for citizenship, will other family members be affected with that if they apply for citizenship?

No. Citizenship is a personal application and does not need to be linked with the admissibility or eligibility of any other family member.
Sorry to hear about the unfortunate thing that happened. I understand that oath taking as a family is nice. But in my opinion, it’s better that you become a citizen first.. so in case if anything happens, you can always sponsor your husband as your spouse. PR status is vulnerable and anything can happen to anyone at any time. Just my opinion .. but it all goes down to you guys’ decision.

Dont be as dumb as your husband, take the oath
Seriously, as the others said, don't wait. Take the oath.
On the plus side, you'll possibly get two ceremonies to enjoy
This is why one should apply for citizenship as soon as they’re eligible. Should you do ‘something stupid’ there’s no deportation.
Those who say PR status is good enough couldn’t be more wrong.
