what is the charge on your traffic ticket?

"hit and ran" if not involving injury, only for property damages, it maybe still a traffic violation.

The questoin asked u on 485 is "w/ u were convicted, charged ...for any law or ordiance other than traffic violation".

Therefore, answering Yes would be OK if your ticket indicates that it was a section charged under the traffic law (Motor Vehicle Act).

The penalty for a traffic violation would likely impose a probation period (might refer to your drivers license)and fine.

The charge may not be a a misdemeanor because u only caused property damages.

Judging from the information you provided, highly UNLILY u would be affected by the traffic violation.

If u still have the copy of the traffic ticket, u can check the sectiowhich the fine or charge was based upon unde the state motor vehicle act to see the term of the penalty.

In any worst case, if USCIS raised the issue with u on this "hit and run", u could explain that u considered it a traffic violation and therefore u did not say YES because the struction of the question.

Hope this would help.
