N400 Good Moral Character - Timeframe?
'ello,
For the N400 section "Good Moral Character", is it asking for just the time that I have been in the US (10 years as PR) or is the timeframe really 'ever'.
Cheers,
David.

Re: N400 Good Moral Character - Timeframe?
I was wondering this exact thing, along with the question about if you have ever commited a crime for which you have not been caught - do they expect people to say yes or no? I should imagine minor things like speeding nearly everyone has done at some point.

They expect people to answer truthfully.
My wife answered 'No' to questions 15 and 18-21 of Part 10, Section D, and 'Yes' to questions 16 and 17. The explanation for the 'Yes' was a speeding ticket. Looking back at it today I think one could argue that she should have answered 'Yes' to question 18 as well. In any case, full disclosure of minor traffic violations isn't going to hurt one's application.
