Hi, we live in CA. My girlfriend was caught shoplifting merchandise of just below $25 at a CA department store last night. No police was called, she was told to stay out of the store chain for 1 year and that she would receive something in the mail about a fine. Unfortunately she is in the middle of her naturalization application - her citizenship interview is 4 weeks from now. Her record is clean except she had a speeding ticket (nothing serious) and a red-light infraction during the past 5 years. She's had a green card for more than 15 years. Will this be a problem for her application for citizenship? Should she be mentioning this during her interview? It was not mentioned on the application (because that was filed 2 months ago). What would be the consequences of mentioning or not mentioning this during the interview? Please help! Thank you.
