Between interview and oath date
- Thread starter tcsaa
- Start date
Life stinks if you think traffic ticket can happen anytime.
The people on this forum have been brainwashed into believinmg in disclosing everything. I really don't think
there are many who really disclose ordinary traffic tickets and most of them have good faith to believe they
don't even need to disclose it.

Depending on the offense, your citizenship can be revoked for not disclosing it.
Obviously they're not going to interview you again for citizenship, but getting charged with a crime, or just being a terror suspect (the list of terror suspects is at least 100 times bigger than the set of actual terrorists), can lead the government to dig through your background to see if there is something that can be used to revoke your citizenship.
If we never been in this forum, we would argue with good faith that we
don't know we are supposed to disclose traffic violaons. Now we can
not argue that way anymore.
Have you already got a citation?
. If not, the first thing to do is to prevent one.
After getting the oath letter, put on the following mode until Oath letter.
(1) Minimize driving and whgen drviing strtcly obey all traffic laws
(should always do this)
(2) Check three times into teh shopping cart before leaving a supermarket to make sure there is no unpaid item
(3) Return all borrowed books to the libray and do not borrow any books
(4) Bear with nasty sposuese, naughty children
(5)always get a receipot when you pump gas
(6)never make a U turn by driving on to private driveway
((7) Mo drinking no smoking, no cell phone while driving

The oath letter specifically asks about traffic violations after the interview, so there is no "good faith" defense for that. And I said it depends on the offense. I doubt anybody would ever get denaturalized for failing to disclose a speeding ticket, but failing to disclose a DUI or reckless driving would be more problematic.

My oath is next week, if I happen to get a minor traffic ticket between now and next week, I will certainly not disclose it. Like Bob said, it's up to the applicant.
Do what you feel is right, and what won't prevent you to sleep at night.

If you do get a minor traffic ticket and if you do want to to disclose it and do not want oath to be delayed, it is suggested you just pay the fine right way.
It seems USCIS take going to court seriously but consider paying the fine
to be OK. Here by going to court it means you go to court to defend your ticket. If you just go to court to pay the fine over teh counter, it is not consider to be "going to court". If you go to court to pay teh fine to a court clerk, you can get receit right way

Agreed.
Some of the items presented on this forum (recall the one about garbage left on the street a day early citation or something like that) are really pushing the envelope for the definition of an offense. It is good to be honest (and great to see that so many people on the forum are good honest people), but sometimes we have a tendency to way over-analyze.
One would find it quite unimaginable to ever see a CNN story that reported upon a citizenship being revoked due to a 5-10 mph speeding ticket.
If that happens, you may get comfort by thinking you are not only one but
perhaps one of hundreds of thousand or millions being deported. The US Navy and coats guard may be mobilzied to form a very large fleet escorting
people out.

Ok, I took my oath abt 3 wks ago in Brooklyn, NY and there were two who were prevented from taking their oath due to traffic tickets they received after the interview but before the oath date. The oath letter specifically ask if you been cited by the police including traffic citations?" So, the how they would find out part is irrelevant. Virtually all traffic citations in NYC requires a court visit with the exception of expired registrations and equipment failures etc ...
Now for full disclosure, I should mention that I only disclosed traffic tickets I received that involved me having to go to court on my n-400.

So if one California resident got a ticket in NYC during a one week vacation, he has no choice but to fly back to NYC for the court hearing?

Surely there must be an option to go ahead and pay for a speeding ticket without going in front of a judge, if the driver decides not to challenge it.
