If she succesfully completed diversion then the charge of D.U.I.I. would have been dismissed and she will not have been convicted of a crime, so she should be able to.

If she was CONVICTED and it was classified as a misdemeanor within four years... No she can't, she'll have to wait another year. If the completed diversion class mitigated the DUI charges and she has no record of CONVICTION, then most likely yes she can.
The statutes listed are to be used only as reference material. Scroll down the the blue highlighted section. If you're still unsure, seek legal advice from a licensed attorney. Hope that helps!

I had a DUII for a prescription Vicodin back in 2008, I applied for my CHL in Marion County, not only did it take 55 days for a decision, but I was denied because the Sheriff him self stated that in the deep background check his staff did they found I was convicted of DUII. I wrote a letter asking him how this could be as I have a full and complete set of documentation for my case, and it specifically says that I successfully completed my Diversion, and the DA recommended to the District court to dismiss the Citation, Which the Judge did that same day, all in plain black and white print. Oregon has a computer program that is call "OJIN" Oregon Judiciary Information Network. It is available for DA's private practice lawyers, and even the public can got to your counties Law Library and use the system. The Sheriff stated in the denial that I have been convicted. So Iwrote him a letter and sent the two copies of the case documentation showing the DA's Recommendation, and the District Court Judge signing off and releasing me from any and all liability, and dismissing the citation.
A got a letter back in a few days, As the Sheriff of Marion County I stand by my staffs recommendation to deny, so I am Filing a petition to review my application with a District court judge and he or she will make a binding decision. Oregon statute ORS 166.293 does say if you have been through a court supervised diversion you are not eligible for a CHL license. However part 5 of the Revised Statute also states several situations where you can avoid the DUII issue you just have to know which ones to site in your petition.
