Speeding Ticket

[Masha2008 0]

I have a question about DS-156 Q38. I got a speeding ticket in May and paid fine. I wonder I have to say yes on arresting or conviction. I got one speeding ticket. I am really confused. My uncle who is a police officer said that speeding ticket is not considered crime. But, i wonder I have to say yes or not at the interview. What should i do? anyone knows? I got a speeding ticket in my homecountry, japan.

Speeding tickets, like parking tickets are generally not considered criminal offenses. You don't really need to report that kind of thing.

Nope, won't count for anything. Good luck

You don't need to report it. It is not considered a serious crime.

I too had a minor speeding offence on my record when I applied but my attorney advised me I did not have to report it. I didn't and nothing came of it as expected.

Also, when applying for my police report (I did it from two counties I lived in) it did not show up either.

Inidentally, my license is now clean, but that doesn't matter now I live in the USA! Your clean insurance and driving history mean nothing in the USA - he he! Sometimes it feels like being born again...!

No, traffic violations do NOT count. If they did, there would be a LOT of us in trouble!

Do not report it as a crime committed or you may have big problems. On an immigrant visa application - an Indian guy checked that he had a criminal conviction and described it as getting a speeding ticket and paying the fine. The US consulate in Delhi denied him his visa for being a criminal - last I heard - almost a year later, he was still hiring lawyers and filing paperwork to try and get his visa. I had applied for and received my visa during the same period and left India shortly after I heard about this incidence. Yikes!

IF you were arrested for speeding you need to report that.

(In some states the police officers have the right to arrest for speeding 25 miles over the speed limit).

私はサンシャインガールの不安が分かれます。日本で、チケットが怖いですね。しかし、本当に大丈夫です。アメリカで、それは、犯罪でありません。
