Hi all...
I'm confused as to what "detained" means in Question 16 (Q16) of Part 10 of the N-400 form. It is:
Have you ever been arrested, cited or detained by any law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason?
If I get pulled over for a minor traffic violation and let go with a verbal warning, or simply let go, does that count as detained?
If I get stopped for questioning as a suspect in a crime, then let go without any charges, does that count as detained?
I was suspected of shoplifting one time (which I did not do), and an officer stopped me for questioning. They reviewed the security camera footage and realized I was not the suspect, so they let me go. Do I have to report this? They checked my ID, but I'm not sure if they wrote anything down.
Thanks!
