Hi everyone,

I am starting to get some documents ready for my interview and I have a quick question.

In December 2013, I got pulled over for speeding and chose to request a deferred disposition when I went to court. Essentially, when granted, it gives you a 90 days (maybe more, I can't remember) probation period after which the case is dismissed if you do not have any moving violation during that time. The issue is, I didn't keep any of the paperwork proving the deferred disposition was granted and that the case was dismissed after the probation period. This happened when I was in Texas and I am now in NYC. I am yet to find a way to obtain court records from Texas that I can bring to the interview (I disclosed this in my N-400).

I pulled my driving record both from Texas and NY State. It does not show any violation. Do you think this would be sufficient enough to prove the case was dismissed if the officer asks for something?

Thank you!

Then, this part of the instructions need to be corrected:

6. Always use [Courier New] Font and font size.[12]

Since resizing i have done was based on the provided instructions. Courier New, size 12.

Are you completely sure you are doing it right, using size 14? Might save you some time.

Best wishes.

I can remove that if we need to. The resizing screws up the alignment.

Just quote the latest progress report and remove the quote tags.

This is browser/system-dependent.

I can tell you that I've only quoted the original report (& deleted the quoting) and have never re-sized anything yet it seems to affect the alignment in some browsers. I suspect others are leaving the text size unchanged as well.

As long as there was no arrest or the fine was under $500 you shouldn't even need to disclose it.

I already disclosed it on my N-400 so even if it was under $500 and dismissed, I am afraid the IO will ask for a proof it was dismissed. Do you or anyone know if a clean driving record works as evidence it was dismissed or do they tend to only accept an actual court record? (whenever they ask for a proof). Thanks!

I'm not sure they are even going to care. I would say if they do the clean record would suffice. You could also disclose your library fines however I'm thinking they wouldn't ask for proof they were paid.

I forgot to disclose a ticketni got last year via traffic camera so I'm bringing a copy of it and my payment confirmation to the interview.

Here is a quote from the n-400 instructions under the documents to bring to the interview section.

Other documents. Depending on the circumstances you should bring certain documents to your interview. For example, if you have been arrested or convicted of a crime, you must bring certified arrest report(s), court disposition(s), sentencing report(s) and any other relevant documents, If you were placed on probation, you must provide evidence that you completed your probationary period.

You do not need to bring documentation for traffic fines and incidents (unless alcohol- or drug-related) that did not involve an actual arrest if the penalty was only a fine of less than $500 or points on your driver's license.

Hope that helps

That's exactly what I read when doing my n400 paperwork. I also got a ticket for speeding and it was like $200 and no arrest obviously. They dismissed the case and is even showing up in my records. So I didn't even mentioned on it

Got notification today that I am scheduled for interview

Thanks Tim. The fine was $100 for running a red light

[Helpme123 9]

Thanks Tim. The fine was $100 for running a red light

I was caught for running a red a few months ago and apparently there was another crime in progress where all cars in the area were called to the location so I was let off due to timing

Also all this business about resizing fonts and ppl getting annoyed. I think all your computers/browsers are playing up because I haven't seen any issues this entire thread. No misalignment or anything.
