Oath letter question

I received oath letter today and I posted it here earlier. Now I got a question regarding the oath letter. On the front side of the letter, it has a list of documents (some were checked) that I need to bring for oath. In my case, they checked 1) Oath letter, 2) Permanent Resident card, 3) Rentry permit or refugee travel document, 4) Any immigration document you may have. The remaining two items were not checked. My concern is with items 3 & 4. I never applied for re-entry permit because I travelled only twice out of the country in the last 5 years, that too on very short trips. So, my question is, is checking of items 3 & 4 standard for everyone or is it case specific? I am wondering why they checked 3 & 4 when I don't have it. Please advice. Thanks.

Checking 3 and 4 is standard. Do not worry about it. The only thing you should be concerned with now is try not to get a traffic ticket before oath so that you have to answer Yes
on oath letter to one of 8 questions. It is not a very big deal but still it is advisable to minimize the chance of getting a traffic ticekt
 
I am going to have the oath ceremony on 3/26. Unfortunately, I was given a speeding ticket on 3/5, so I have to check 'yes' on Q.4 "Have you been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, including traffic violations?" on page 2 of the oath letter. I still haven't receive the mail regarding of the traffic ticket and the fine, and the trail date will be on 4/15.

Now I am so worried and wonder will this affect my application for naturalization.

Thanks. I kept that in mind and making sure to drive the next one week very carefully.
If you see on TV someone slowing the traffic in Chicago area with slow driving, that's me. :) :)

Didn't the officer give you a paper copy when you got the ticket? If not, try calling the county court clerk where you got the ticket and ask if they see your ticket in the system. Sometimes it takes a week or two for the cop to report field incidents back to the county court and for the clerk to enter it in the system. Keep calling them or better yet, go personally next week. The moment your ticket pops up in their system, ask them how to get a copy of the ticket, plead guilty, pay fine instantly and possibly get a court disposition stating that you paid the fine. At the least, try to get a copy of the ticket once they have it in the system, then buy a cashier's check or money order for the amount, make a copy for yourself and then, drop the check personally at the court. When you go for oath, just show them the ticket and the proof of payment. The whole point is to show the oath officials that it was just a speeding ticket and you took care of it by pleading guilty and paying the fine. If you try to contest the ticket, you need to wait for the court date to resolve the matter. That could delay your oath.
 
Hey Spiderman03,
where is the oath ceremony in Omaha on the 18th March and at what time?
Thanks in advance,

Just drive close to the speed limit. You might get a ticket by driving too slow and impeding traffic :) . I am glad you are almost done. Good Luck!
