Questions regarding part 10 question 16 and filling N-400

[w1331 2]

Hi,

I just got my ROC approved by USCIS, so I'm now working on N-400.

Is it hard to file N-400 by yourself? If you don't have middle name, do I need to write "(none)"?

Does anybody have examples of N-400 that have already been filled in?

I have a question on how to answer question 16 from part 10.

The question is "Have you been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason? I have 3 moving violation tickets (traffic tickets) back in around 2002 and 2003. All tickets were dismissed due to I took defensive driving (so it will not reflect on my driving record). Do I need to answer Yes to the question 16 and disclose these traffic tickets?

RICARDO4EVA2,

For all my 3 moving violation tickets, I took 2 defensive driving and 1 deffered adjudication, so it won't increase my car insurance. I think I should say that they might be on my driving record if I ask for driving record from DMV.

Are you saying that moving violation tickets not part of question 16?

almost everyone gets those.. heck I have gotten about 8 tickets for speeding in the last 5-6 years. I have not added those to my application. My brother became a USC back in January 2010 and I completed the application for him and regular tickets were not added.

So why did my stepdaughters IO ask her if she had any traffic violations when the instructions state you do not have to report these if under 500 bucks? Plus I see others were asked that question as well with a decision cannot be made at this time. Then that crazy letter about being charged with battery when she was 17 months old and having her drivers' license suspended when it never was.

But according to the instructions, you do not have to report any traffic violations if one was killed, you weren't drunk, and the fine was less than 500 bucks. So the answer is NO to that question.

Her IO also demanded she paid her fines, actually she didn't, I did, she was a minor at the time, and although her mom and me had to go to traffic court with her, they wouldn't let me have the proof these fines were paid due to some weird privacy act. Also contacted the state DMV for her complete driving certified driving record, that cost us 24 bucks. At the same time contacted my senators office, a bit slow on working on it, mainly how to answer those battery charges. But they finally got back to us that this whole thing was a miscommunication. Her oath letter came in last Monday as proof.

Couldn't have occurred at t worse time for her, midterms, semester started in late January, hardly the beginning of March, like a month and a half and midterms already. Yet her professors are complaining about being way overworked and underpaid. 68,000 teachers are protesting in Madison right now. Was able to talk to the clerk of courts even told them I was there in court to pay the fines, but only she could pick those up, they wouldn't let me do that. That was more chasing around for her, over 120 miles of driving. But at the end, we didn't know that, was a miscommunication error.

Now I am praying that March 24th will be a clear day for that over 400 mile drive, not like yesterday when we had a major blizzard. Look at that certificate as being a divorce paper from the USCIS.

If you enter None in the field asking for your middle name, None will be it. So you don't enter none, of course, unless None is indeed your middle name.

Yes, if you have 3 moving violations you have to list them, absolutely!

According to the instructions, you don't have to document (meaning, you don't have to show paperwork about them) them, but just today we had a case here on VJ where somebody passed his N-400 interview but had to wait until providing a court document to this effect. The I.O. can require you to bring what he wants to see. Thus, if you have documentation, bring it to the interview.

Its alright to write None if you don't have a middle name, they not going to put none as your middle name, only morons would assume none is your middle name. good luck

I'm sorry you can also put N/A where it ask about your middle name. Regarding your "moral character" heck you can put the driving records information if you like but it's not required. You can take prooof to your interview etc.

Hi,

I got confused because I got mixed answers.

When you file your N-400, did you answer Yes to question 16 of Part 10 and then wrote an attachement for it? Although the traffic tickets were dismissed because I took defensive driving and deferred adjudication, I still need to answer Yes? The problem I have is I didn't remember exactly when I got the tickets and I did not know if I still have all the receipts for them.

When I was in college, I joined Phi Theta Kappa and Entomological Society of America. Do I need to answer "Yes" to question 8a of Part 10?

Thank oyu

Hi,

I just ordered a certified copy of my full driving record from DMV and there is no record of moving violations. Any suggestion on what to do about question 16?
