Mistake on N400

[Rannouch86 0]

Hi Everyone.

I've filled for the N-400 and yesterday I received a yellow letter that recommends having some documents ready for when they send me the interview date. One of those requirements says the following:

"- You indicated in your application that you have been arrested. for these arrests and any other incidents in which you may be involved, bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved. "

The thing is, I have never been arrested. I went back to the application to see my answer and I believe I put Yes when they asked "have you ever been arrested, cited,...?" so I thought, yeah I've been cited with a few traffic violations. and I mentioned them in the box after that.

SO now I don't know what to do. I already called the UCIS number and they are useless. They just read from the webpage, as if I couldn't do that myself.

Any advice? I thought maybe to request a background check and show them, I have never been arrested, but each court does it for its own county so i would have to call every city i've ever lived in.

Or should I just go in, empty handed and explain it to them, they must have done a background and not found anything, Right?

PLEASE if anyone knows, Let me know whats the best way to handle this. Its urgent as my interview date is getting close.

THANK YOU

In the interview you'll be answering questions under oath, and the IO will go over your application to verify coherence of answers. Most likely it's gonna be your best bet to correct such mistake.

To avoid delays, better bring in proof you paid those fines. Answered no to that question as the instructions clearly stated not to report those if fines were less than 500 bucks or not driving under the influence.

Stepdaughter's IO asked that question anyway and wanted proof a 50 buck fine was paid, that caused major delays. After her interview when she told me that, told her to go back in and show your driver's license as proof, even if you don't pay a five buck parking ticket, state will pull your license! I would even go back in with her, she was a minor at the time, I had to go into court with her and pay that fine. She was afraid to go back in.

Since she lived far away in college I went to our local court house to get that proof, wouldn't even release it to me to get that proof since she was a minor at the time. They did prepare it, but she had to take off and pick it up herself, was a complete pain in the butt. But you cannot argue with the USCIS, have to smile and do whatever they tell you, even though their instructions completely contradict the requirements.

I would go to the police station and have them print out a form stating that you didn't commit crimes, and that you have paid all traffic violations. I don't know the name of the form, but you should look more into it.

As it stands mate, you'll have to go get police report and then at your interview. Before the IO starts the interview kindly draw his attention to the fact. And hopefully, everything would be fine.

That letter is standard bullsh*t created by retards for retards, not in the medical sense, but the common sense. Anybody who truthfully marked that he once had been cited, even if it was only for farting too loud in a school zone, gets this letter, just because nobody at the USCIS cares and Janet is busy with Baracks' DACA stuff anyway.

Although you are not required to "document" anything that was under $500, you should just bring proof that you paid the traffic ticket. I got one for answering my cell phone back then, and the I.O. wanted to see it, did, and then quickly dismissed it by saying "anything else but a traffic ticket?"
