Do I need to report 12 year old speeding ticket on N400

[sunnyzz 0]

Hi Experts - I got couple of speeding tickets over 15 years ago (in California). No tickets after that. Do I need to disclose those super old tickets to my N400 application? What if I forgot to say "YES" to that question (which I did). Is that OK? If not, How can correct this mistake? I dont even have those old tickets or information on those with me anymore. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

I would try to get the citations if possible, but it should not be an issue.  The IO will go over the N400 form with you when you have your interview and you can disclose them then (USCIS may already know about them from their background check).  My wife forgot to disclose a moving violation she was cited for when she filled out her N400, and she was able to correct it at the interview, it was not an issue.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot to both of you. This really helps. I've already emailed the courts and got information about one of the tickets (which was from Dec, 2005). Waiting for other ticket info. Couple of follow-up questions though:

1. When should I bring this mistake during the interview?

2. Shall I upload some sort of letter/word doc (and the citation evidences from court) online to my uscis case portal, so that they know about this mistake upfront and the evidences of closure?

Thanks again.
