How to complete Section G correctly

[kiwirst 39]

I am applying for my citizenship finally after having had enough of having to go through secondary screening every time I come through customs even though all they do is quickly scan and see if anything has changed (which it hasn't) so I get released. The last time I missed my connection so delayed my return home by an extra 4 hours.

 

I was arrested and convicted of a misdemeanor traffic offense and I am struggling to fill out the section around that correctly as it seems like a repetition of the question/evidence before.

 

Do I repeat everything from the initial part about the arrest?

Is each section a part of my entire conviction? Meaning do I put the dates of each part of my case as separate entries (arrest, court date, second court date, probation completion evidence?

 

Worried about this as not only did I make a mistake that could affect my citizenship application, incorrectly filling out the application could also hurt my application.

 

Has anyone else had to do this and can help guide me through which part goes where?

I do not see a section "G" for form N400.

 

Not clear on why you are being pulled into secondary inspection but that is NOT considered as being detained. It is being "referred" for addtional inspection and is done many times when using Advance Parole (AP) or if a person has forgotten a document that needs more time for verification etc.

So for Part 12, question 23 - answer NO. 

 

If, after secondary inspection, you were put in a holding cell, this would be considered as "detained". 

Or if you EVER received a ticket  /citation (even traffic), you should answer YES and provide the date you were cited. If the date is over 5 yrs or you do not clearly remember, you may put an approximate month or year.

 

In your case, Questions 23, 24 & 25 are a YES

If you were sentenced, answer 26 , 27 & 28 appropriately with those specific dates

 

A big part of the N400 interview is to go over the application and correct any mistakes & provide detailed explanations. So it is very important that you take the court records with you for the interview.

Section G refers to the N400 form guide, sorry for the confusion.

 

I referred to being pulled to secondary because it is my arrest record that triggers the secondary hence the need to apply for citizenship.

 

I have answered the questions correctly however my ask is for the evidence piece. It reads as if each evidence section is for a separate incident, I want to know if I need to put the same information all the way through with additions of each step or which dates to use.

 

I pulled the N400 form to line up the online questions with the actual numbers, does Q29 include my 1 night in holding cell after the arrest?
