If you didn't have any other violations on your record, its unlikely that this particular one would cause any significant impact. Its a minor, regular civil offense, at the most they might call you for an interview and ask what happened, but that might be unlikely too.

It is not criminal.You are totally fine.

Removal proceedings, law infractions, asulym case (there are lies, big lies, statistics, and then there are asulym cases). Maybe you should start thinking for yourself.

"Its a minor, regular civil offense"

Not to nitpick, but a misdemeanor is a criminal, not civil offence.

a) If you paid your speeding ticket after a hearing from a judge and asked for a "no contest" - most likely the judge has done an "adjudication withheld" which is NOT a guilty verdict.

b) the statement in I485 specifically asks if you are guilty of offenses other than traffic violations

So in all likelyhood - not much of an impact on your GC, but be very careful - repeat offenders do not get an "adjudication withheld".
