They probably do, you just have to remember where you got your ticket. You can request that they send you the disposition and a receipt to prove you have paid your fine. Mine was a fine of only $90, but I still managed to get a disposition (certified, too!) and a copy of my receipt. They might be a little huffy about it considering how long ago it was, but I'm sure they are more than able.

Good luck!

Getting a certified copy sounds like a really good idea, thanks! It's always good to have proof. Besides, at this point, I barely remember the month when it happened! I do remember the location though, mostly because I was so embarrassed at the time LOL.

Idaho actually has this nifty little system where you can look up your own criminal record. It's handy when you need to know when you committed what, and what your potential date's rap sheet looks like. 😂

 

But in your case, you can always find out! I'm sure the courts have a way of digging info out. :)

My biometrics appointment will be tomorrow at 2 in the afternoon, but I am going to come in to my local office right at 8 am, because I want to get it done quickly. I live in Alaska so I'd have to fly out just to get to our "local office," and I'd like to try doing it earlier. 

 

I have a question - I have eczema on my fingers, not very bad, but a little scarring, did anybody experience having to redo their biometrics because of this problem? I am scared that I might have to do this again!!!

Hi there, 

 

I have filed my N400 online early this month while my I-751 was pending. Last week, my I-751 got approved and have received my Card. 

 

Should I upload the copy of my new Green Card and the approval letter as additional documents to my application?

Can anyone help me here?

There is some sort of a disclaimer under the "Documents" tab that you may upload additional items, but they wouldn't really review it unless necessary, but you can definitely do so.

Do you think it would slow down the N-400 application process, now the GC is approved?

Thanks so much, guys! Cannot believe I misread that. I remember we did not have to include traffic incidents on the I-485 and I guess I was still on auto pilot from that more than 3 years ago! 

 

I will do my best to ask for records from the court even though I know I don't have to. It was just traffic school and a fine. If I cannot get the records, I guess I will just have to settle for an approximate date when asked at the interview.

 

I am wondering if uploading a statement now as an additional file might be helpful.

Why do you need traffic incidents? what are you applying for? N400? I didn't include my "broken light" ticket and I can't remember seeing a question about traffic incidents. Am I missing something?

Were you stopped by an officer when you got you fix-it ticket? If so, you have to declare the incident. I think if it was just posted on your vehicle when parked and you were not stopped by an officer, that doesn't count. I think. No minor traffic incidents have to be declared on green card applications, which makes this a little confusing.

A traffic violation would technically be an offense that you weren't arrested for. It does not specify what severity (misdemeanor, felony, etc), so I just included it. According to other threads, it's for the USCIS to see who are honest about their past transgressions and how severe they were.

***not on topic*** Don't diss the Idaho Repository man! A couple of prospective guys I was interested in asked me out, so I decided to look them up on there. One of them had speeding and traffic tickets a mile long, and the other was a registered *ahem* offender. Misconduct with a child under the age of 16 (he was 30 at that time, too...). So I noped the heck out on the 2nd one.

Below text is copied from Instructions for Form N-400 (PDF, 260 KB)
NOTE: You must submit documentation of traffic incidents if:

(1) The incident involved alcohol or drugs;

(2) The incident led to an arrest; or

(3) The incident seriously injured another person.

You do not need to submit documentation for traffic fines or incidents that did not involve an arrest or did not

involve drugs or alcohol, if the only penalty was a fine of less than $500 or points on your driving record.

 

 

10. Question: What documentation is USCIS looking for on N-400 applications for clients who have traffic citations only (no arrests), such as speeding tickets? This is in reference to the Good Moral Character section, question 16, which asks if you have ever been arrested, cited, etc. Also, what is expected at the N-400 interview regarding these traffic tickets? 

 

Response: Typically if an individual only has minor traffic citations with no arrests resulting (i.e. speeding tickets), they will not be required to submit any additional information with the N-400. However, if, during the course of the interview, an adjudications officer determines that there are circumstances that warrant further investigation, (e.g. there is an indication that the applicant has failed to pay fines associated with the citations), the officer may request additional documentation. (e.g. payment, certified police/court documents indicating such).

 

I will get a copy of my driving record and add it to my online documents just in case, just wanted to share what I found.

I included mine anyway, if only because it is listed on my record. Clarified that it was a speeding violation between 1-15mi above posted limit, provided proof that it was paid. TYPICALLY they don't ask, but I don't wanna take that chance to where if they ask, I can provide. Better be overprepared than underprepared I guess 😅
