    Is it OK for PRs to purchase and consume marijuana in Colorado now?

    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...

    Missing w2

    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.

    Has anyone not mentioned a traffic ticket on their N-400, causing the IO to deny ur case?

    Traffic tickets and naturalization (threads merged)

    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.

    Documents needed for Naturalization

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

    My 22 year journey comes to a close

    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...

    Could you please ask following question during your interview and post answer here

    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...

    Could you please ask following question during your interview and post answer here

    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...

    Failed to signup for selective service

    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.

    Failed to signup for selective service

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

    Help on Citizenship Case

    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...

    Need to complete Defensive Driving for citizenship?

    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?

    2nd interview

    Requesting assistance from your senator will trigger a congressional inquiry, nothing more. Contacting the USCIS Ombudsman is an even bigger waste of time. The only way to get any kind of movement on your application is to file a lawsuit under 1447(b). Jackolantern is 100% correct.

    have a appeal hearing next week.

    Sounds like they want a transcript of the court hearing. I would strongly advise consulting with an attorney before providing this to the USCIS, as it certainly seems like they want to go on a fishing expedition and see if you were charged with a more serious crime that the one you pleaded to.

    Post Oath Ceremony--Did Not Realize About My Traffic Ticket Until Everything Was Done.

    I didn't disclose any traffic tickets on my N-400, but brought proof of payment for the ones that haven't yet been wiped from my record to the interview, just in caser the IO specifically asked about traffic tickets. The IO only asked if I've ever been arrested. I truthfully answered that I've...

    Good moral character statutory period after DWI

    You can apply based on residency requirements. You have a simply DWI that resulted in a fine, so it most likely won't be a problem in your case. I've been on this forum for over 5 years and have yet to see anyone get denied strictly on the basis of a simple DWI. Of course, YMMV. A simple...

    Good moral character statutory period after DWI

    A single DWI doesn't preclude one from demonstrating good moral character. If your record is otherwise clear, you can go ahead an apply when you become eligible.
