JohnnyCash said:INS doesn't care about the record from DMV; rather they would need to see the paid receipt or traffic court record. DMV record might be good for you to see when and where you got tickets, but it means nothing to INS. If you don't have a proof of paid receipt for traffic violation then you would need to contact the traffic court where the matter was resolved. Mostly traffic courts don't keep record for more than 3 yrs old. If that is case, then you would need to get a letter from them for saying about the non-existence of record.
Good Luck.

If you can produce a DMV document that says that you have cleared your record (or not) is not proof positive for INS, then I am not sure what would be
The DMV is the expert on your driving record and the INS should accept their word. Perhaps we might see something like this in the next 50-100 years
There, I am done with my rambling!

Reply is appreciated.
ocworker said:DMV records any accidents and traffic voilation. they do not record if you have already paid or not.
I agree with you. DMV is the expert on your driving record, and that is it. USCIS is interested into if you have paid and any outstanding warrant.

Suzy977 said:Please help me understand. I just got yesterday my DMV record. Two violations. In the column next to each it says "violation cleared". Now, let say since one of the violation was a "speeding ticket" how was that violation cleared except by:
1. paying the ticket.
or better
2. having it dismissed by the court.
Where they(DMV) get the "clearance" for tickets, not from the courts? I'm positive is not from FBI NNCP...cause in that case we were in bigger trouble
And, to make sure I don't forget later on, I thank in advance to everyone who will clarify this dilemma for me.
ocworker said:i am not too sure thou. i guess you know the best .. was the ticket paid in full? or was the ticket dismissed by court?
did you go to traffic school? sorry for not able to help much. may be you should speak with your local DMV to check what it means on your record thou.
