Yellow Letter - Citation

Hey folks,

I received my yellow letter - it said to bring in the DL and it also said that "since you indicated that you were arrested, please bring all the relevant documents/court disposition etc etc etc....."

But, I never said in my application that I was arrested. I had a speeding citation and I had indicated that I paid the fine of $100.

Is this ok or have they misunderstood something and should I be concerned about my application and interview?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike
 
It's a common language they use when you say for question 16. (have ever been cited, arrested, detained .....)

Just take court disposition for paid ticket

"arrest" here mean stopped by police. It does not mean
you have to be read Miranda rights, taken into a police
facility, and get fingerprinted
 
Even a citation (just issuing a speeding ticket with no arrest) triggers that yellow letter. It's standard practice for USCIS. Nothing to worry about. Just take court dispositions on those tickets for the interview.
