Can you get your green card if you have outstanding traffic tickets for speeding in your homeland?

Generally, a minor traffic violation abroad will not stand in the way of eligibility to adjust status in the U.S. to become a lawful permanent resident (to get a "Green Card"). The Adjustment of Status application form expressly excludes traffic violations in its question about prior arrests, citations, charges, etc. Depending upon the details, including the date, an unpaid traffic fine, however, could present a problem for naturalization eligibility.
