could you please answer this question for me because i am very very confused about it I have a speed ticket . When filling out the N-400 application, I answered "No" to "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested?" and "Yes" to "Have you EVER been arrested, cited, detained, or confined by any law enforcement officer, military official (in the U.S. or elsewhere), or immigration official for any reason, or been charged with a crime or offense, or notified that you were being investigated for a crime?", then I entered citation in "Crimes and offenses Table " When I go to the next question 16 "If you received a suspended sentence, were placed on probation, or were paroled, have you completed your suspended sentence, probation, or parole?" What should I answer here? "Yes" or "No"? It seems both answers don't apply to me and I am not sure what to put here?

Hello, Do I need to add my Spouse information if I am selecting 1.A? As I understand I fill my spouse information only if I select 1.b or 1.d otherwise skip to Part 6. Am I correct? thank you
You are right, they made a mistake, there is no info about the spouse if your spouse is NOT U.S citizen .. but if your spouse is U.S Citizen then the online form will ask you about the spouse info .. also no question about the parents..
Use the current form. The N-400 focuses on children under 18 because they derive U.S citizenship from you when you become a citizen. Your wife and parents do not derive citizenship from you. If you are worried about "total members of your household" (Section 10:3-4), include the people who physically live with you--your, wife, kids, and parents.
Hello I have a question I'm doing the N-400 online for my mom and I want to do it based on the English excemption language test because of the age and the time with the green card (55/15). But I don't see in this new version where to check for this exception. Any help please!!!!!

I just went through the whole online application. You are correct, there is no place to enter your spouses name. I suggest you enter you spouse's name in the Additional Information Section and upload your marriage certificate there. Meanwhile, I will pass on your comments to my USCIS contacts. Thank you so much for your keen eye for detail! Good luck on your application.

You are absolutely correct. The paper N-400 asks for the spouse's name; but the online account does not. I suggest that you upload a copy of your marriage certificate, along with a copy of your green card. USCIS has received comments about this problem and will probably correct it in the upcoming months.

Hello! Question. If I've had my residency for the past 5 years, what box do I check off in the #1 section ( Information About Your Eligibility)? Thank you!

Hello i have questions where can i find USCIS online account number? What should i add to child and spousal support or just to leave it? Do you want Social Security Administration to issue you an original or replacement Social Security number and update your immigration status with the SSA if and when you are naturalized?
If this is your first time filing a case online, you probably don't have an online acct number yet. It is ok to leave this blank. Once you submit your N400 online, check your profile of your online account--the number should appear there my.uscis.gov/account/applicant/settings# . Also check: www.uscis.gov/file-online/how-to-create-a-uscis-online-account and this article citizenpath.com/faq/uscis-online-account-number/ As for your SSN card--do you already have a card? Do you already have a number? A new citizen is required to report to the SSA.gov their change of legal status from "lawful permanent resident" to "US citizen". See www.ssa.gov/personal-record/update-citizenship-or-immigration-status

Is that possible to use previous version of form when we fill up ?
Is that anyway to use previous form, or if you were finished this form will that be any update about our spouse or parents info?
The new form is accurate and accepted by USCIS and they dont need your spouse info or parent if you're applying under " general provision ".
Use the current form. The N-400 focuses on children under 18 because they derive U.S citizenship from you when you become a citizen. Your wife and parents do not derive citizenship from you.
