** I posted this question on general discussion forum, but maybe i am being impatient, therefore starting a new thread.

Hi All,

I am a newbie who joined this wonderful website just today. I will be filing my 5 year n-400 naturalization in August 2013. Am trying to collate all the information and be prepared. Just have 2 questions as of now.

1) I live in NYC and sometime in 2008-09 I was stopped by MTA police on the subway while walking between 2 cars while the train was in the station(not moving)!! Anyway, they gave me a $75 ticket which was duly paid within a week or 2. If i understand correctly, i need to check "yes" for citation question on the n-400 form, Do i need to dig up my old statements to get a paid out copy of the check as a proof of paid ticket?

2) I got my PR card thru job in 2008 when i was single. Got married to my lovely wife in 2011 while she was on F1. Her company is sponsoring her H1 in April 2013. My question is, while filling the section of spouse information of n-400, what immigration status should be mentioned for her. F1(which she is currently on) or H1(which is filed for her)?

As of now, i can think of these 2 questions. Will definitely look forward to be more engaged on this forum and may be able to help others!

Thanks everyone.

1) Yes, you have to list it; no, you don't have to provide any documentation for it.

2) If somebody asks if your wife is pregnant, which she is currently not, but she wants to become, do you say "not pregnant" or "pregnant."

Same here. She's an F1.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

1) its good to mention it. You dont need to submit the proof of payment in your application now but its very wise to take proof of payment with you during an interview

2) If her visa status is F1 when submitting your application, then mention status "F1 Visa".
