If you have any unpaid tickets at the time of the interview, and USCIS knows about the tickets, the interviewer is likely to postpone approval until the tickets are either paid or dismissed.Is there any legal obligation that makes me resolve all tickets before I go for the interview ?
I received a notice from USCIS asking me to bring proof of how the tickets were resolved.
They actually sent you a notice that explicitly directs you to bring proof of traffic ticket resolution?
To all those who responded. thanks.
Yes its the yellow letter (boiler plate template) that says that I have indicated that I had been arrested. Please bring proof of any issues. Something like that. It actually does not talk about citation but I am sure thats what its intended for.
Whoever reviewed the application saw my answer in "yes" for citations, arrests etc and the list of tickets.

Also ensure to get a court disposition proving that you have paid the fine and taken a traffic school (as required) and the case is closed. This is the document that IO will look to ensure you have met your obligation. Its an important supporting piece of evidence to have at the interview. You can get this from the county court (you will typically get this either at the same date or at the most in 2 weeks)
good luck
That's contradictory to what the guide instructions say (no supporting documentation is required for minor traffic tickets under $500.) In fact, it's very rare that an IO will ask for documentation for a minor traffic ticket as it's not something that would make you ineligible for naturalization.
Also, how can one get a court disposition if I never went to court in the first place? Is this even possible? I just paid my fine on-line and took the traffic school course.
I received a similar citation in 2002 and paid the fine via mail with a check. The City/Court of Chicago can't produce a court certified disposition because I did not go to court. The best they were able to do was provide me a copy of the citation, the letter they mailed me back in 2002 and a computer screen shot of my Docket # and Ticket # showing the fine has been paid. Do you guys think this is adequate proof / support for the interview?
Sorry for opening a new thread on traffic tickets issue when filing N-400. I believe this issue was not discussed in that thread. My concern is, if traffic tickets (simple citation and fine payment) is mentioned on the application, did anyone notice any processing delays of N-400 petition, especially between the stages of finger printing and scheduling interview date? Please advice.
Mentioning tickets certainly triggers a CFR letter. I am not sure however if it delays the process. I would personally choose to mention them at the interview.....
