Step by step instructions on filling up N400, name, employer location, traffic ticket and more

[JPBoston]

Regarding your traffic ticket, my IO told me that traffic tickets do not apply to the citation question. I had listed one traffic fine from an accident I had had 12 years prior on my N-400 form. It was the only moving violation I have ever had. She changed my answer from Yes to No and wrote "Paid ticket" and initialed the edit on the form. Anyway this is how I listed this on the form for the relevant columns asking about the incident and its outcome:

Cited: Traffic ticket
Traffic fine (~$85) paid

Thanks JPPBoston, that's helpful.

I will end up using something similar. I had a second ticket for which I have received a printout (seems like a screenprint with details of payment and ticket) with court seal on it. It simply says "Dismissed" in under the Finding section and the fine was say $40.

The violation code is 39:3-29

It apparently has something to do with driver being unable to produce car registration, insurance card or driver's license in NJ. I don't remember what was it that I couldn't produce but later went to the court and must have showed the required documents and was
asked to pay the court fee and "ticket" was dismissed. I didn't pay $150 but instead paid $40 which is what court asked me to.

"Any person violating this section shall be subject to a fine of $150, of which $25 shall be deposited in the Uninsured Motorist Prevention Fund established by section 2 of P.L.1983, c.141 (C.39:6B-3)."

Wondering how should I word that. Should it be "Cited: Traffic Ticket" Paid $40 for court processing fee, ticket dismissed?

Regarding "Other Names Used" - Pat 1: Question C on form N-400:

Most seems to suggest that all variations should be entered.

I would love to hear from fellow members here who may have been in similar situation and how they handled this questions. I would think this could happen fairly commonly with names that have middle initial or middle name.
