Speeding tickets k1

[Hatoma 0]

My fiancee has two speeding tickets 600 and 500$ what we should choose yes or no? and if yes what we need to write down and if no should we include speeding tickets papers ? thanks

It's written pretty clearly there. If the traffic violation was involving a fine of $500 or more, mark YES and include information on it, including the tickets papers, and presumably, the receipt of payment for the fine.

 

Both tickets should be included.

Was it $500 fo speeding; or something like: $300 for speeding, $150 for tinted windows, and $50 for broken taillight?

"Unless a traffic violation involved a fine of $500 or more". It did. You need to mark YES.

It doesn't matter if it's paid - they're asking "have you ever?"

 

If you are not truthful about this on the form now, it may come back to bite you as a criminal history of your fiance WILL be checked, and they WILL see these fines. It's even worse if they see that they are outstanding or that any community service that may be required has not been completed.

 

@OutOfThisWorld Even if it was for multiple things like tinted windows, noise violation, etc... It all falls under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and is a traffic violation.

 

Whether it affects processing is up to the USCIS and ultimately the consulate or embassy. In some states, high fine tickets like that are actually registered as a criminal offense, so they need to ask the question. All I can say is that it looks a heck of a lot better if it's paid for.

$500 is unusually high for a speeding ticket base fine. That by itself may raise some questions; so do not just mention it on the form, include relevant paperwork as well.

@OutOfThisWorld im not sure which country this person is from but in my country speeding tickets are doubled in construction zones and alot of people get them speeding 130km/hr on a 110 zone and the construction sign says 50km ... so it doesnt surprise me. But alot of the times they also get a court date.     I agree with the above check mark "yes". Its a traffic violation doesny matter what kind.

Holly marcel, I just looked up your state. Indeed, speeding 26-34 MPH over the posted limit is a Class B misdemeanor offense, with potential penalty of 180 days in the county jail and a $1,500 fine.

 

Never speed in Illinois, I guess.
