So I just applied for a naturalization. However, I checked on the box where it says if you made any criminals in the USA(?) or something like that as a "no"

I got a speeding violation ticket going over 25 miles on a 50 miles road and a stop sign violation ticket in the past 2 years and i also got a speeding ticket going over 10 miles on 65 miles road 2 weeks ago.

Would that be a problem? Or should I call the USCIS office to correct any informations?

ps. I just got my receipt that they got my application, today by mail. (Form 1-797C)

the question is specific.

"Have you ever been arrested, cited.... for any reason?"

A traffic ticket is a citation, so you have been cited and you must declare it.

mark yes, list the details on the next page. carry documentation that your fines were paid. it doesnt slow down the application.

if any of your tickets were over 500, or were drug/alcohol related, then hire an immigration lawyer.

He already sent his application and he got receipt for his N400. Changing it now is to late. As I said in your interview day just make sure you tell the officer about them. Thats what I did and I became a citizen 2 years ago.
