Hi to all,  

I am currently in an unfortunate position. I will be having my citizenship interview on the 23rd of this month. I just found out today that we were issued a notice of infraction for running a red light. We have a spare car that we rarely use, and I have not driven for years. Since COVID, my father-in-law who is an elderly person has been using our car and he is the one who got the violation.  

 

I am concern that since the vehicle is registered under our name [myself and husband] that this violation will affect my citizenship. I made a copy of the notice and planned to disclose this during my interview. However, my father-in-law won’t be paying the fine yet. The due date is April 27, 2021. Will it be fine that the fee will not be paid before my interview date?  

 

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.  

If i am in your shoes i will pay the ticket before the interview, otherwise be ready to delay the case. Dont give any opportunity to delay the case. Its always better be overprepare rather underprepared. 

Filing N400,waiting for the naturalization and the fee of $725 is worth more than just the red light camera. I would not jeopardize all this progress just because of that ticket.
