conditional GC and domestic violence charge

[indianinus]

Hi,

I have been regularly visiting this site for some good opinions. i will make my story short. i got a conditional gc which expires in 1.3 years. 7 months back my in laws and me had an argument. i have not been staying with my wife since then. my wife has now falsely trapped me into a domestic violence case in a terroristic threat complaint against me. the case is going on in the court before she gets the final restraining order. she has also filed a criminal complaint against me.

my father in law has vowed that he will either put me in jail or get me deported. what are the chances of my deportation? what does the immigration law state about this? if i come out clean, i know nothing will happen to me. what if she manages to get the permanent restraining order under domestic violence abuse? someone please advice me as i am losing my sleep over this. i was not arrested, detained nothing till now. she only has a temporary restraining order as of now. what do i do now?

Hi friends,

Anyone who can give me an advice on this, please reply. the domestic violence charges against me have been dismissed by the court and the divorce hearing is coming up pretty soon.

what will happen to my immigration status, if i get divorced? i am still a conditional green card holder. will i be deported or can i stay here and apply for the permanent green card on my own? i have a valid green card. my wife is hell bent on getting me deported. she says she is going to report to INS once we get divorced. what will INS do to me? as far as i know, i have a green card which is still valid for a year and i think i cant be deported. please advice.

Get a good lawyer. A lot of people are skeptical about filing for I-751 after divorce for a good reason. But, a lawyer would be able to help you with this.

Have lot of documents to show that you eneterd marriage in good faith. Pictures, Affidavits, Joint accounts, email exchanged before marriage etc.
As far as the threats go, have them documented too.

Even though the case has been dismissed, you are not yet out of the woods yet. Have all the paperwork with you. Get a good immigration attorney to help you out.

I hope it works out for you. Keep us posted as to how things go.
