Amazing! Simply amazing. I don't think I have ever heard of someone being asked to show docs. for such minor traffic tickets. By this account, then probably 80-90% of applicants are lieing because a lot of people have not mentioned traff. tiks. that are <$500 and not drug/alch. related. The n400 is ambiguous about this part.
I am really convinced now that an interview is very very dependent on the individual IO, his/her personality, how good/bad of a day they are having and what their experiences have been interviewing people (lot's of fraudulent apps., etc.). If you think of it, they are Interview "Officer's", which means they probably have law enf. backgrounds and are trained to look for clues and signs of something fishy. Not saying your case was such, but the fact that all your tickets were during the last 5 yrs. *could have* had some bearing, but still I cannot imagine that. After all you were under oath and listed the tiks.

One question I have: do you know that bec. of the tickets all being in the last 5 years you were asked for proof? The N400 questions all ask "have you ever ...". So the 5 yr. thing seems irrelevant, but obviousely in your case you seem to think it mattered... Can you fill us in?
