Don't sweat it too much. "Hearing" in nothing but a second interview which will be conducted by a more senior adjudicating officer. You therefore won't be going to a court...they'll just call you back to federal plaza just like they do with other interviews. Of course the new IO will review...

I don't think you should be worried that much. All the people I've spoken to have told me that my case was a very rare exception. In other words, traffic tickets are never a big issue when it comes to naturalization (unless they are outstanding). If you however feel that you need to be on the...

I forgot to ask you, was your case denied as well, or are you just worried that you might run into problems during the application process?

Yes, I appealed the case but unfortunately, I'm still waiting for a decision. I had a second interview back in April and I was hoping they would get back to me sooner than this. Anyway, I'll let you know when I get a notice from them.

1. NONE of the tickets is outstanding (I had court dispositions for all of them). 2. NONE of the tickets is over $500 (the highest fine was $325) - all tickets were paid on time. 3. NONE of the tickets led to a warrant, suspension, or revocation of my license (my driver license has always been...

It's unbelievable! I can read prejudice/malice written all over the decision. You are right, the IO must be taking things personal instead of approaching the case objectively and professionally. I'm trying to get an appointment with an attorney and when I do, I'll discuss with him the...

Shock from USCIS! I still cannot believe it but I just received a letter from uscis about my application: My case has been DENIED! Reason for denial: Lack of good moral character - because I had 2 speeding tickets within the statutory period and that service records show a pattern of traffic...

Vorpal, I didn't know your interview experience was on it's own thread. Congratulations again!

I think my case is more of an exception rather than the norm. I understand most IOs don't bother with traffic tickets unless of course they are DUI related. So in all likelihood, you'll be just fine. Just take the DMV abstracts and see whether you can get certificates of disposition from the...

I think you are exactly right. You should have seen her face when she was asking about the tickets! I was like WTF! All these because of speeding tickets??? It's not like I was caught driving 100 MPH. One ticket was 65/55, the other was 56/55 (reduced by the traffic police officer) and the other...

As far as I can remember, and I think I remember everything from that interview, the IO spent way too much time asking about the tickets and criticizing the certificates of disposition from the courts (saying they were not enough evidence and that they lacked enough details). We still went...

In my case, the IO checked "uscis will mail you a written decision". In my mind, I thought, well, the IO will simply take my file to the supervisor for review, and then I would get a letter in less than a month. I guess I was wrong.

According to what I have gathered in this forum, it seems like the only way you can get them to act is to file a WOM. I personally thought my case was quite simple and am surprised it's taking this long. I keep asking myself how long it can possibly take to verify that I paid off my speeding...

Maybe like someone said, we should just agree to disagree. Some of us are looking at this issue from an immigrant's perspective, others, maybe not so much. If the society we live in was ideal and the system worked flawlessly, I'd probably understand. But we all know that is not the case.

The way I see it, there is nothing (under the present laws) that prevents the uscis from stripping you off your citizenship and initiating removal proceedings against you at any time if they so wish. You don't even have to have committed a serious crime! All uscis needs is an excuse. If the...

As someone told me earlier on this thread, congratulations on having gotten this far...we still got folks waiting for ILs since last year. I also had an interview in April and I was put through a similar experience, only that mine involved 3 traffic tickets. In my case, I thought the IO was...

Hi All. This is my first post in this forum though I've been a regular for a while now. I couldn't post for almost a month as the administrators took a long time to activate my registration. Anyway, I had my interview at 26 federal plaza on April 15 and I still can't figure out what to make of...
