Does anyone know if a traffic ticket will affect my citizenship application? It doesn't involve arrest just a fine and points on my driving license.
Thank you
"Your traffic law violations won't keep you from getting U.S. citizenship. Nevertheless, you should answer "yes" to Question No. 23 on form N-400, Application for Naturalization, that asks "Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by a law enforcement officer (including any and all immigration officials or the U.S. armed forces) for any reason?" "Cited" includes receiving a traffic ticket (but not parking tickets). Except for tickets involving alcohol or banned substances, traffic violations should not affect a permanent resident's right to naturalize. You need to list the citations on the form, but if the fine was less than $500, you need not bring proof that you paid the fine to your naturalization interview."
