  • AOS I485 Traffic Tickets

    A question regarding form I-485, if you received traffic(speeding) tickets in the past 5 years, only fines less than $500. Do we need to mention it in the "Additional Information" section of the I485 form as well.

    You know, I DID MENTION IT. I got a speeding ticket for $225, 55MPH on a 35MPH lol.... The given county gave the option to take TSS so the ticket wouldn't go on my record. But I listed that incident anyways. But as per the instructions, you are correct, if it doesn't exceed $500 you don't have too. However, it can be tricky, because PART 8, question 25 clearly asks "Have you ever been arrested, "CITED" (a traffic ticket is a citation as you probably would need to go to court for it unless you paid it online or something), charged, detained for any reason BY ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL (including but not limited to any US immigration official or any official of the US armed forces or US Coast Guard)? There is no difference between a ticket and a citation. In most areas, both terms refer to documents that outline traffic violations. A citation or ticket encompasses moving violations like speeding tickets or traffic citations. It also includes non-moving violations like parking tickets.
    Good Luck!

      As per the I-485 instructions, it does say to report those in the additional information section, though you may not have to provide evidence for it if fines are less than $500 and no points. I didn't file my I-485 yet, but will be doing it very soon, and I mentioned it too in my I-485.
