traffic ticket. will it affect ?

[toribae1031 3]

So.. last thursday. I got car accident.

I got a ticket it said failed to yield. I was trying to take a left. It was green light. Heavy traffic at that time.

I couldnt see another driver. ( she drove fast. Over 60 it was Downtown. Supposed to drive 35 )anyways. she hit me and we both went ER. Police officer gave me tickets as citations. I am going to pay for it. I dont want to fight for it. he told me that no one can proof that she was speeding so fast. And you were trying to take a left so apparently it is you fault. I got it... is it going to be matter for my citizenship future?

This is my first ticket... no crime. Nothing before I got car accident.

I have 10 yrs permanent greencard. And still in my military contract. I am gna go basic training on sept 1st. ( if I can... )

It won't have any negative impact. Pay the fine and go with all the paperwork.

It doesn't sound like they arrested you, so there is nothing for you to divulge on the N-400 application.

This is a citation. It has to be disclosed on the N-400 application. The question asks for any time you were arrested, detained, or cited.

As long as it is disclosed, it won't cause a problem. The OP should pay the fine and take proof of payment and any related court documents to the interview. They may not be needed, but it's better to have them.

I got a ticket for "fail to yield - vehicle turning left" in 2007. I paid the 75-dollar ticket. I mentioned both of these facts on my N-400 which I mailed out in end-June. I also got a court-stamped copy of my entire docket for the case to take with me to my interview when they schedule it.

It was a very similar situation, I was turning left, the other person came so fast that I didn't even see them coming, but it was my fault because nobody could prove they were speeding and it is the turning person who is supposed to yield.
