It means if you do not carry your green card today, you'll
have to disclose that in the future on N-400
Seriously, I think you only need to say Yes if the offense
is very serious and releft moral turpitude. Otherwise this
question is not practical. Only new-born babies can say Yes without commiting a perjury.

I wonder if you can invoke your 5th amendment right
when answering those immigration questions. You
simply neither say Yes nor say No.
I wonder under what circimstances even a citizen has to go thru
sych strict moral chrcater scrutiny. Perhaps when one applies
to some important government job. They have to answer
if they pay social secuties taxes for their nannies.

I applied some time in Nov 2001 with new N-400 form. I have few speeding tickets. I called INS customer service center, and asked about these tickets. She specifically said speeding tickets are not needed, unless it is serious where I was arrested. So, I filled 'No'. I have passed the interview and scheduled for Oath in few weeks.

You are lucky that there is no law says one can not falsely claim to be an American on the internet and Rajiv S Kahhanna is not a USA official otherwise your calling yourself "Indian American"
before your oath make you removable.
the new N400 was revised 05/31/00. It removed
"excluding traffic violation" from those criminal
record questions. The INS people you asked perhaps
did not know that.
But I don't think it is that important whether
you disclose traffic violation or not. There is
a difference in definition of what is a crime
between on book and in pratice. On book,
crimes are classified as infraction, misdeameanor,
felony. In pratice, only misdemeanor
and felony are crimes. In my opinion, disclosing
infraction like traffic violations will flood the INS
with to many frivolous truths and it will beat the
INS's original purpose to track real criminals
before your oath make you removable.
