N400 citation

[Kristal 0]

Hi I filed my n400 last month and I indicated that I never been arrested or issued a citation. Now today i realized that I was issued a MTA violation ticket for 100 dollars back in sept 2014 for not paying the bus. I'm in New York and i was on this new select bus which you buy a ticket outside the bus stop on a machine, I brought the ticket and when I was leaving the bus there was police outside checking to make sure everyone purchased the ticket. As I was searching for my ticket the transit officer began writing the ticket. I paid the ticket, but I totally forgot about it until today, what should I do? Does this even register on my biometrics? Should I tell the interviewing officer and will it effect my chance for citizenship?

You were cited, so you should have listed this incident. You can inform your interviewer at the interview. If you want to be prepared, go to the location where you paid the ticket and get a copy of the final disposition.

This should have no impact on natiralization beyond a delay of you don't have to paperwork with you at the interview.
