Hi
My oath date was with in a week and Very unfortunate thing happened to me yesterday and i am very scared now,not getting sleep at all,whether they will put my citizenship application on hold or what.
What happened was i was driving in higway and taking exit to merge to another highway and the exit has two lines and i was on the
left lane of the exit,police officer was standing at the exit shoulder which is on right side of the exit and waved his hand just like to divert the traffic. I was under the impression that he wants all the left lane cars to move to right line so i moved to right line and going slowly then immediately the officer started his car and turned his flash lights behind me and i pulled over my car as soon as he did that. He rushed to me saying that i failed to stop when he was waving. I said sir i was under the impression that you are diverting all the left lane cars to right side.He didnt listen to me. He went to his car and returned with speeding as well as that i failed to stop a police ticket with option criminal as cheked in the ticket.So on the back of the ticket its saying any thing with criminal option checked you will hear from a judge whether a criminal complaint needs to issue against you or not .
What happens now? In the oath cermony will they allow me if they see this ticket. I swear god that i was under the impression that he was diverting the traffic. I dont know what to do now. Can somebody tell me any advise. I called one lawyer and explained the situation he was saying when you go to the court and explain the judge thats its totally misunderstading he may cancel that, but to reach that stage it will take couple of months .
I never had single ticket neither convition in my life.This is the first thing happend to me and that too at a very crusial time in my immigration journey. I dont know other than praying god what to do with this kind of situation.
