Question about Crime or Offense

[mbmw 0]

Hello

I'm just wondering about a question in the application, the one about ever being charges with a Crime or offense? Do I have to include a speeding ticket? I only have one speeding tickets from 4yrs ago,

Thanks

This topic was brought up just yesterday. A ticket is a citation and needs to be mentioned on your application. People will disagree and blah blah blah. My thing is 'Better be safe, than sorry'. So put it down and give an explaination as to what was the outcome in the space provided. When they do a name check on you, they are going to find out about the ticket, so might as well have it so that they don't accuse you of lying. Cheers and best of luck.

In the context itself, you should since speed ticket is considered as citation.

N400 instructions said citation under $500 may not cause the problem for N400 adjudication.

But it doesn't say you don't have to report.

For N400, you should tell the truth, and the truth, nothing but the truth..

But in reality, nobody cares about speed ticket because most of people driving have one or two or more.

So depending on Interview officer, they recommend NOT to report minor one such as speed ticket.

But it's up to you.

The recommendation by some of Interview Officer will break your statement to tell the truth for speed ticket, and it may be the issue.

If I were you, I would mark as "Yes", and add additional explanation saying that "I marked Yes because of one speed ticket 4 years old."

Then when you go to interview, you may bring the copy of DMV driving record and the confirmation of payment.

Probably Interview officer will ask if it was just speed ticket, then proceed to next question without a problem.

I think this question should be fixed to avoid the confusion and contradictory between reality and the question itself.

Thank you for your answers,

The ticket was $300, the officer charged me with Reckless driving for doing 72 on a 25, but then dropped the reckless driving charges the day of court and I was only charged with the speeding,

So I will think about it,

Thanks
