yaro77,

Don't worry about what the N-659 says. If the yellow letter indicates otherwise, I would bring documentation. You don't want to take a risk that the absence of any such documentation would delay your naturalization.
My yellow letter asked me to bring arrest records or court dispositions. Since I don't have an arrest record, I ordered a copy of the disposition, basically a statement from the county clerk that I paid the $50 fine.

Thanks Sunny, I do have documentation that shows I have paid the fines and the ticket was disposed. Just that it is not certified. I called the court and they said they do not have any mechanism to certify this since it is so old. I am planning to see if I can get it copy certified / notarized...

Try to get a Status Information Letter from Selective Service. I wouldn't ignore any request for evidence even if I believe that it isn't necessary or is moot.

Sunny808 thank you for the infromation.
Just want clarify one thing this is not RFE . In the Interview letter one of the MUST BRING DOCUMENTS

So you are saying get SSS NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED OR SOMETHING LETTER?

chekodi,
Some posters have reported that a copy of returned checks showing that the fine was paid isn't sufficient, so I imagine that a copy of the money order would similarly not be enough. Check with the appropriate county clerk on how to go about getting a copy of the disposition of your traffic ticket.

Are you filing under the 3-year rule? If so and you sent in a copy of your tax transcripts with your application, just bring the originals that were sent to you by the IRS.

I'm not sure "3-year rule". I'm the primary holder of GC. Do they ask any IRS dues clearence certificate?

I thought you were referring to the yellow letter. The interview checklist is a standard checklist, and if it doesn't apply to you, i.e. that you were not required to register at any time, then you don't need to show anything.

chekodi,
Are you applying on the basis of marriage to a US citizen + 3-year residence in the U.S., or are you applying based on 5 years as a green-card holder? If you filed under the 3-year rule, then you will most likely be required to show a transcript of your IRS taxes, at least for the past 3 filing years. If you are filing as a 5-year green card holder, you are not required to show IRS transcripts although it has been suggested that certain district offices request a copy of IRS transcripts anyway. Unless any of your IRS transcripts show that you owe taxes, I don't see why you should bring an IRS clearance. In short, if you've never owed taxes, and are required to bring/show IRS transcripts, those transcripts are sufficient.

Sunny, I applied on 5 years GC holder and I'm again not sure by exact meaning of “you've never owned taxes”, normally when you file taxes, sometimes you will get +_ and you will end up with paying if you owe to IRS by sending check along with tax filing papers or send check separately if you filed online. I owed to IRS couple of instances when we have major investments changes in that year (ex: sold house, sold stocks etc). Are you saying we should not owe to IRS as of today? Correct?
 
GOT FP LETTER..............dated for 2/3,,,,

planning to do Walk-in on 27th (Wed). .........

chekodi, the N-659 asks if you have any federal, state, or local taxes that are overdue. does this apply to you? if so, item no. 11 states that you need to show that you filed a return and have arranged to pay for the amount you owe plus documentation from the taxing authority about the current status of your repayment. i am not saying that you should not be owing anything to the IRS or any taxing authority.

I got your point. Thanks Sunny! I requested tax filing scripts by submitting 4506-T form and requested county court to send me copy of disposition statements.

i think it's pretty normal. while early fingerprinting appears to speed things up, i imagine that each individual's priority date will be more relevant on when a notice for interview is sent out.
