    Traffic tickets and naturalization (threads merged)

    It's a dumb idea to list minor tickets on the N-400. I ran a poll on this forum to see what people had experienced; if you see the results, you won't bother listing the tickets. I didn't list my tickets on my N-400, but took court dispositions to the interview, just in case. The topic never...

    Sure them after 120 days Here's an explanation of how the name check works, and why your case is delayed: http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress03/garrity071003.htm If you don't get a decision in 120 days, you can sue USCIS under the law. Do it, and you'll be a citizen in a few weeks.
