N-400 and ticket was cancelled by judge;disclose?
If someone had a minor $50 ticket for turning left on a red light, contests the ticket and the judge throws out the ticket, should such a ticket be disclosed on the N-400?
More so if the ticket was 4 years prior to the N-400 filing, and the N-400 was filed on the basis of 3 year marriage to USC?

Mentioning this ticket is not serious enough to have an impact on the case, so what is the problem?

If you are unsure of the answer, refer to the Guide to Naturalization.
Here, they elaborate and give examples on how to answer.
If you do all this, you must be OK.

All of the questions regarding citations, arrests, etc. in the applications have word EVER in them (e.g., have you EVER been arrested, cited, etc.) -- it's not based on last 3 or 5 years. Having a minor traffic ticket will not cause you any problems, but not disclosing it could. I had 2 speeding tickets, and I wrote them all in the application and the interviewer just asked me to initial next to each of them. That's all! FYI: you might want to obtain a court certified copy of the record of disposition of your ticket from the court -- it is usually very easy procedure, and if you call the court they would tell you what to do to get it. I did not need mine, but I heard stories that people were required to present them during the interview -- again, it is much easier to get it than to explain to the interviewer why you don't have it.
Good luck,

so if someone sent in N-400 without this info, is this info one can bring to the interview to update the initial N-400?
