Employment mistake on application

[Mike E]

Generally.. I assume that they may want final dispositions for ALL legal cases (especially if they are having a bad hair day at USCIS). As you know, If they want to be really awkward at USCIS they can ask to see proof that you've paid all fines and satisfied all paroles and community services etc etc. It seems crazy to get a final disposition for jaywalking... but we've seen lots of crazy RFEs on the forum and I just want to avoid any possibility of missing anything. I'm going to my interview with a truck load of paperwork just in case.

I disagree with your assertion that non-misdemeanor jaywalking tickets under $500 must be disclosed. And there are plenty of lawyers who agree with me.

I feel the same about parking tickets and traffic tickets. In my case the hand full of speeding tickets I had the first 10 years or so a green card holder are ancient history I can’t even remember the precise years I received them.

Besides that that person was ticketed for walking while brown.

No I'm not saying they need to be disclosed...didn't assert it either... we were just trying to get the best-possible preparation. She raised the offense in one of her posts so I was explaining how she can cover ALL bases if she wants to for her interview. My underlying thought process is this....If the FBI has access to ALL petty, misdemeanor and felony offenses and if they are on file on the background check or if that crops up in a conversation somehow, we all know how annoying USCIS can be. They do like to dot their "I" and cross their "T". Some people get nailed for minutiae of details.. others don't. If the interviewer asks "Have you EVER broken any law"... then, her honest answer has to be "Yes.. jaywalking". If the next question is "Did you pay the fine and can you prove it?".... down the rabbit hole we may (potentially) go. That's why I intend to err on the side of over-preparation rather than take a chance. I'd rather give them the final disposition instead of arguing with them about whether I should or should not need to. Make sense?

“Can you prove you paid the fines?”

me: “I’ve have global entry, these traffic incidents were discussed with CBP, so clearly DHS knows I paid the fines “
