vaibh4 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hello, I am going to consult a proper lawyer for this case but I am posting to this forum thinking there may be similar cases. I have been living in the US from past 13 years all good standing and 4 years back received green card through EB1 (Researcher). Now we are close to qualify for citizenship application and one unforseen problem has arised. A police case was filed on my wife by her ex-sister-in-law (brother-in-law's ex-wife) in India. My first question is-is it required to disclose this in citizenship application for my wife? The police case is a bogus case but it has to take course of law to be judged in court. With Indian law system it may take years to resolve so it is advised to only apply for citizenship when the whole matter is cleared? Any experiences with this type situations are very helpful for already tormented us :). Link to comment
JoeF Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 What does "police case" mean? There are criminal and civil lawsuits. Civil lawsuits don't matter for immigration. Criminal cases have to do with law violations. They can matter. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is police case an arrest? If not the instructions are clear cut and you should follow them, Link to comment
vaibh4 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Sorry I had to be clear about some of the details. It is 498a case no arrests are made and we have received anticipatory bail. Link to comment
