N-400 Application-Have no recollection of registering to vote

[lanky1980]

2 things. Firstly, with as basic as this infraction was, I would be shocked to think you would get deported over it. In fact, I have never seen or heard of anyone getting deported for accidentally registering to vote and not voting.

Secondly, I would be cautious using letters from these "officials." I had a letter from my US Senator saying how wonderful I was, but my attorney told me that he strongly suggested I not include it because it can pi$$ the IO off. Don't shoot the messenger here - this is just what he told me. I didn't end up using the letter...

Good luck

Thanks for the response and duly noted on the letters. It did cross my mind that it might get their back up. Maybe i will save the letters in case i need them down the line.

Its funny that you call it a basic infraction, others seem to think its much worse. Did a similar thing happen to you? Is that why you had a letter from your Senator?

Just to let you all know i heard from the immigration lawyer in NY. He stated that the letter i have drafted is good and that i should submit the materials as they are. He said that if he was a betting man he would bet on it being approved, but it could also very well get denied. He did say he would be shocked if they started removal proceedings. Going to submit the papers on Monday (was given 30 days since 4/19) as its Good Friday tomorrow.
