Just pay online and close the case. No need to bring any documentation to the oath. You are not cited for any violation, your car is and you got the citation just because you happen to be the owner. In other words, you have not been cited for violating the traffic rules.

I would put Yes for sure and bring a receipt that u paid it and bring the original ticket as well. You will be ok.

In my opinion, just pay it and bring proof of payment during your oath ceremony in case they ask or try to pull you out. I have heard many tales of people being pulled out of the ceremony because they somehow know if you had gotten a ticket.

 

It’s not criminal, it happens, don’t let your ceremony be delayed. Worst case scenario, they still may pull you out to verify it themselves. 
 

If you try to contest it, you may not get a date until after your ceremony.

Answer Yes, move on. It won't affect anything. Just pay it and have a receipt ready 

thank you everyone for replies.

i heard everyone and i decided to pay it online. bring the receipt and ticket to oath ceremony.

i will also mark "YES" to citation question on the form so i will mention this on my form.

does this plan makes sense? would this make a mistake? do i have to reach out to court or police department to make sure system is updated with my payment before the oath?

thank you agian if you can reply.

Hi Folks, after a painful and long journey i'm so close to be done but i'm worried about one thing. This forum helped me a lot so please provide help if you can. Thank you in advance.

I passed my interview last month and my oath will be next week.

Today I recieved a traffic citation (I wasn't pulled over) about turning right on red light...

It says "NOTICE OF VIOLATION - AUTOMATED RED LIGHT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM - 

.... "Your vehicle was turning right on red light and not being operated in careful and prudent manner"

It also says "This is a non-criminal infraction of state law". STATE IS FLORIDA.

I have option to pay (less than $200) online. I want to pay online and not fight because not sure if fighting it will cause delay.

Will this affect my oath? Oath ceremony has a form that says "have you been cited since your interview..." and I will have to say yes to it.

Any similar experience or suggestion?

Thank you if you can help.

Yes. 

@mindthegap looking at your signuture and timeline and i'm curious why you did not apply for another n400 after first denial?

You’ve had it. You just aren’t listening . 
There is, for the most part, nothing you can do. 
 

My own n-400 (5yr rule) was scheduled for interview last year, and the interview letter was issued & dated a week AFTER my second I-751 was denied. That’s simply ridiculous incompetence. 
Then, at the n-400 interview they had no knowledge of, or care about, the I-751. It should have been a combo interview, but for some reason, some muppet denied the I-751 without referencing the prior filing which contained the evidence, without interview or RFE, breachIng multiple well established USCIS adjudication procedures. 
 They simply didn’t want to help, and they didn’t help. 
 

Another example: I replied to an RFIE for my latest I-751 today…. enclosing the documents that they requested - in this case divorce decree and divorce filings - the very same documents that were in the very filing a year ago, in a very specific folder with a big label on the front stating ‘divorce paperwork’ in big capital letters. They also have four prior copies of that exact paperwork in my A#. 

How do you argue with that sort of utter stupidity?

How do you reason with it?

You can’t. 
 

You are looking for logic where there is NONE.   
 

The uncomfortable truth is that you are simply a barcode to them. They don’t know, and don’t care about you, or how long it takes. The whole organization is about as sociopathic and unempathetic as it gets, and you are on the sharp end of it, and at some point went to the back of an even harder line, because you received a denial in the past. 
 

Stop driving yourself mad, and get on with your life, thinking about it as little as possible. It happens when it happens, and there is nothing you can do to speed that up. 

Thank you and i'm facing this hard truth and I'll do my best to leave this behind but I was just told by another person that my n400 will be denied because my i751 is divorce waiver and it is pending. Is that true?

This is what another user said and I was hoping this is not true.

First of ALL, there is no such thing as a combo interview.  The policy states that you cannot apply or be approved for n400 until you have completed ROC.  This ploy to push for quicker adjudication on the I-751 does not apply in your case.  Until your divorce waiver has been finalized, your N400 will be denied.  They will not combine the interviews, as you tried to file under the 3 year married rule.  You have wasted your money twice.  You will have to wait until Divorce waiver if finalized.

Ok, so either I’m not understanding something or there is a language issue. This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday when I asked you to spill the beans and tell your whole immigration history. Here we go:

 

Why did the first N400 get denied? That is the key question. I bet you $100 that it is the same reason why they’re sitting on your case this time. 
That is a key question, together with 👇

 

Why a second one?

i hope this will make it clear. If this makes sense, i will make it in one post and only ask questions there.

1 - Married US citizen spouse in 2016 and got conditional green card. (it was a real marriage)

2 - filed I751(FIRST) to remove conditions in 2018.

3 - Marriage falled apart and started counseling etc.During this time, while i751 was pending, applied n400 under 3 year rule while married and living together. (We were living together and working on marriage)

4 - I had to go to n400 interview alone since spouse went to her parents house and I said the truth during interview and officer said I need to submit divorce decree in 90days or everything will be denied.

5 - Filed divorce but during covid things took long and USCIS denied my i751. And also denied n400.

6 - Divorce became final and i recieved denial letter for both i751 and n400. then I filed second I751 WITH DIVORCE WAIVER by myself in JUNE 2020.

7 - Became eligible to file n400 under 5 year rule and filed n400 in JANUARY 20210

Now my second n400 and i751(divorce waiver) both pending.

Makes sense? i hope I was able to explain and sorry for misunderstandings.

hoping I can get answer

Not accurate. You can definitely apply for N400 while ROC is pending. Can you please link the policy?

That's also what I thought.

I filed I751 Divorce waiver(June 2020) after I got divorce and then I filed n400 under 5 year rule 6 months later.(January 2021)

Do you also think my n400 will get denied? or I'll have issues? 

I thought many people are in this situation

I'm confused by all the statements you made. Not sure how you sounded so sure about these. But please clarify if you can.

I did not file my SECOND n400 under 3 year married rule. I filed it under 5 year rule. My first n400(filed under 3 year rule) got denied then i filed it again under 5 year rule when I became eligible again. 

So as of today, I have second N400 pending with 5 year rule. AND a second i751 WITH divorce waiver.

How did I waste my money twice? Why is my second n400 or I751 getting denied?

I know it is true that until I751 (with OR without divorce waiver) gets approved first, n400 cannot be approved but they do it in order when you have combo interview. 

Does anybody else agree that my n400 will be denied because I have a divorce waiver I751 that is pending?

Wait. Get on with your life. Create a start up company for millions and gamble it all away. Create a cult based where the founding principal is marrying small farm animals. Anything except stressing over it, which won't make one shred of difference.

They do it when they do it. Welcome to the USCIS way of doing things. 

my motivation in life is so low due to stress USCIS brought in my life. i know stress can't help but i can't break the cycle.

i don't know what i could expect next - i tried info pass, congressman, online message. nothing works.

requested FOIA and now waiting for them to send me results. it is in last step.

i don't know why people applied MONTHS after me already took their oath but i don't even have i751.

some say i751 delays n400 some says it helps.

i can't figure out what is true.

not sure what it would help.

With all due respect, I think you have been posting in the last couple days bits and pieces into separate posts. That makes us really hard to follow and thus help you. I think somewhere you posted that you requested a FOIA -that tells me there’s more to this story. Not being nosy, but just please give us all the relevant details at once.

i understand and sorry for mess if i created. i just can't find any help or money to talk to lawyers. its just hard to be alone in this.

i requested FOIA because that's what people said it would help. it was completed yesterday and i didn't receive an interview.

You filed I-751 with a divorce waiver, correct?

And then you filed N400 based on 3-year rule, correct? Please clarify.

 

Otherwise, if my understanding is correct, you were not eligible to file N400 and it will be denied. You can only file based on 5 year rule.

You need to clarify the exact dates.  What is your residence since date on your GC?  Did you file a joint I751 first, then switch to a divorce waiver, or was the I751 file with divorce waiver in June 2020 the initial submission?  Are you filing the N400 under the 5 year rule?

 

 

my first i751 and n400 were both denied together because of divorce. my divorce took a while.

after the denial, i got divorced and filed a new i751 (june 2020)

then with the 5 year rule, i filed second n400 (january 2021)

as far as i know i'm not in removal proceedings

now i have i751 and n400 pending. i751 never got transferred after n400. both cases show fingerprints taken as last update.

i hope i cleared the confusion. i'm depressed and broken. 

thanks for any insight.

Hi folks, just pop in to see if anyone still waiting on their 751?

i am waiting since june 2020 potomac. last update fingerprints taken.

i also have n400 pending since january 2021. and i don't know which one is blocking the other.

Hi everyone, i wanted to connect with people in similar experience.

i filed i751 after divorce in june 2020. potomac.

i filed n400 in january 2021.

many people filed n400 MONTHS after me already became citizen. 

I was told they put me in line for interview for n400 in january but nothing

most people's i751 got transferred after they fill n400 but mine didn't get transfer

short story: i751 pending for 21 months - last update: fingerprints taken

n400 pending for 14months. - last update: fingerprints taken

i am convinced my i751 is delaying n400 combo interview.

anyone in same situation? or knows anything about what to do or expect?

I didn't hear anything after my biometrics reuse since february 2021. 

I also have a pending i751(june 2020)

anyone in similar situation?

location: tampa

i'm not sure what is delaying my application. maybe i751 is delaying my n400?

any thoughts?

hi folks, i think my i751 waiver is delaying my n400.

my n400 is pending for 14months(tampa) and i'm waiting for interview.

i don't know why and i'm depressed.

my i751 didn't get transferred. (june 2020 filler). last update was fingerprints taken.

Hi friends, are there any fillers from early 2021? 

I'm at a lost because USCIS doesn't process applications in the order.

my field office in tampa approved cases from 2022 but my case is from January 2021 and still waiting for interview.

I also have pending i751 (potomac - 22months now) 

any similar experiences? any idea how to figure out what is delaying my application?

So I managed to finally speak to an actual human at uscis today. I was told that my service center (Potomac) processing time is 20.5 - 24.5 months for removal of conditions. I’ll be at 24.5 months at the end of July so fingers crossed I should have some news soon. 
 

Fun fact for anyone wanting to speak with a human but can’t get through the automated service, just say “request infopass” and you are immediately put in the queue to speak with an agent. Learned this from Reddit today after dozens of calls trying to speak to an actual person.

hi i have same timeline with you. do you know what month potomac is processing?

Before AIC decided to move on this, I also wanted to gather a group to file a class action suit but, coincidentally, USCIS scheduled me and my oath ceremony is next week. 

 

Hi, can you explain how you gather the group? please share what you did so we can follow. thank you

Hi everyone, please guide me in this frustrating situation.

I learned that my i751(divorce waiver, potomac) is blocking my n400(florida) application. They are both pending

I751 - June 2020

N400 - January 2021

Most people who filled n400 months after me already got their citizenship.

When i call uscis, they don't say anything. 

Anyone has any idea what to do if you were me?

Anyone knows a similar situation?

What would you expect to happen next in my case?

Nono I filed the n400 afterwards.  My I-751 was approved in 1/22 and I filed the n400 4/22 based on the 5 year residency eligibility.

 

but they do typically try to have a combination interview. So as long as you were indeed eligible to apply for citizenship based on your 5 residency then you can expect a combo interview.

 

have you shared your timeline?

 

 

i shared my timeline here.

i751 june 2020

n400 january 2021

only update was the fingerprints for both applciations august2020

my i751 didn't get transferred after n400 and i'm hoping for combo interview but not sure how?

I had my divorce waiver interview in October 2021 and was approved in January 2022.  i filed in 2019 My divorce occurred in April 2021 and they were updated right away.

 

Question for you, When did you apply for the n400? 

i recently applied for the n400 based on my 5  year residency.

 

 

 

i filed n400 in 2021 based on 5 year. they are both pending.

i'm wondering if the interview can be both for n400 and i751 at the same time. 

i mean in my cases, do people get 2 interviews? because i751 can block the n400 if they have seperate interview.

i'm not worried about the interview, its just taking too long.

so in your case you didn't have n400?

Hi there, 

I filed jointly in may 2019, then updated my case to a divorce waiver in January of 2021, and had an interview in January of 2022. Basically 100% of my interview questions were about my relationship to my ex husband and what were the circumstances of our divorce, but my marriage was out of love so I wasn’t really worried about it. It all went well for me. 
i don’t know if there ever is a set rule for uscis that applies to all similar cases

good luck to you! 

thanks for reply.

did you have a pending n400 at the same time?

i have n400 pending too, so i'm wondering if these interviews are always combined? because they can't approve n400 without i751 first.

hi folks, just want to ask a random question.

my i751 is divorce waiver case. it was 100%real marriage and i submitted divorce decree and evidence.

is an interview required for i751 divorce cases? i know uscis can do anything but is it common? 

note: i also have a pending n400.

We received a call from USCIS 2 days prior to the N-400 interview. The officer told us they would conduct a combo I-751/N-400 interview. They confirmed the date and emailed us a letter with documentation to bring with us. Basically the letter said to bring everything. 

thanks for update. i am curious if they really call people like that.

did your i751 get transferred after filing n400?

i'm in same situation like you and same dates. my i751 didn't get transferred
