FlagWas arrested in CA over 15 years ago for speeding/reckless driving (not sure which), Would this have any impact on GC renewal? No jail time. Paid fine and attended traffic school. No drugs or alcohol involved.
No it probably won't. You should get the certified criminal records though and have them handy in case CIS sends you an RFE [request for evidence] asking that you submit criminal records. Remember that CIS requires that the records be certified. They may not ask for anything at all but it's better to be on the safe side since this case appears to be old and the records may not be readily available.
All good and correct answers (that it's likely not dangerous), BUT I stand with Attorney Guerra. Don't assume anything in this environment, and it makes sense to discuss with an experienced immigration attorney, because ICE is very unpredictable nowadays and it's best to be one step ahead.
Best of luck!
