Speeding ticket

[carolineden11 2]

Hi,

I have been very active on this site recently and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to answer my questions. A few years ago (I don't remember the exact year), I received a speeding ticket on the 401 in Ontario near Windsor for going 15km/hour over the speed limit of 100km/hr. One of the questions on form DS 160 asks if you have ever been arrested of convicted of any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar action. It is my understanding that I would have to list my speeding ticket, correct? Also, what should I bring to the interview to show that I have paid my ticket? I don't have a copy of the ticket anymore. Would a driving record work? Thanks!

My husband didn't have to fill out the DS160, we went through the process before they had instated it, but I know on other forms that he filled out that it said in the instructions that only drug/alcohol related traffic incidents or traffic incidents that resulted in arrest needed documentation. I'm assuming that it would be the same for the DS160. As far as I know, minor traffic violations aren't necessary to report. Hope someone else will chime in and verify for you.

Good Luck!

Robin

only if you were arrested, which doesn't usually happen with a speeding ticket.

They really only care about arrests, which you were probably not for speeding. My fiance was naturalized last year and had a speeding ticket. It was not an issue. It never came up, they really don't care at all.

Thank you for your response. I also talked to a police officer and he said the same thing so I won't report it.
