Marijuana use is still a federal crime, although the federal government most likely won't prosecute casual smokers. However, they may still have you on the hook if you answer "No" to the "have you ever committed a crime for which you were not arrested?" question. Then again, it's not a crime in...

It's nothing like an arrest. It's just a traffic ticket. However, the USCIS specifically asks to provide documentation relating to traffic tickets in excess of $500. All you have to do is supply proof of payment.

Here's my personal experience: http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?558999-Could-you-please-ask-following-question-during-your-interview-and-post-answer-here&p=2633968#post2633968

So the USCIS' statement indicates that the AOs should not be asking for dispositions/receipts for traffic violations, as they only explicitly refer to arrests/convictions for crimes. Seems like even the agency itself doesn't have a standardized procedure in place, when it comes to traffic tickets.

Do you have an unusual/excessive pattern of international travel? It seems that they want to verify your travel dates.

Neither document is required at the naturalization interview.

Yes. That's what happens when I type too fast!

There are also many Americans who think that anyone who's not a citizen is an illegal immigrant. When I received my citizenship, a few of my acquaintances congratulated me on finally becoming "legal", to which I responded that I was legal since the day I came here and explained to them about the...

This is not an issue at all.

To be on the safe side, I brought records of whatever tickets I could locate to the interview, just in case I was specifically asked about them. The IO asked "Have you ever been arrested?", to which I truthfully answered "No" and he moved on. At the oath ceremony, the IO who was conducting it...

This question has been asked by many people. Some IOs say yes, others say no, and some even get upset if you disclose it, as they consider it a waste of time. I had a few minor traffic tickets that I didn't disclose. The IO who interviewed me only wanted to know if I've been arrested. During the...

It can't hurt. However, when you attend the interview, the IO will know that you're over 31 and failure to register for Selective Service won't be an issue.

You're over 31 years of age, which makes the Selective Service issue moot. It's outside of the statutory period.

This is abnormal, as it usually takes 24-48 hours for your FP results to be forwarded to the USCIS. I would contact the fingerprinting division of the FBI to find out what happened. When I was undergoing the naturalization process, the number was 304-625-2000. Try calling it during regular...

Were you required to take a defensive driving course as part of the fine, or did the IO instruct you to take the defensive driving course on her own accord?
