Arrested for Hot Check - please help

no, ins cannot deport you simply because you were arrested...you can only be subjected to deportation if you are convicted of a crime in the court...
i dont see any reason why you have to be deported...
only thing is your case might take a bit longer than usual...so make sure you have all the court documents handy before the interview...

It appears this is a fraud scheme – the more I read it – it looks like you, your husband and “she” are partners, what is your share 33% each, “she” happens to know your exact name and no misspelling – and by chance happens to speak English in Indian dialect. :rolleyes:
My dear friend moe curly welcome to the 21st century,it so happens these days that the banks prints your name and address on the check's.....
You are trying to portray the bank and the merchant as bad guys – in reality they are the victims here – merchants has given up goods – the bank has to honor the checks and pay up. ;)
whoever told you that a bank has to honour a bad check....in the best interest of the business the owner has to make sure the id card is not fake..

Lets step back – you claim you moved – how long does it take you move? Two days in same town – two weeks out of state – two months to Alaska. Do you receive monthly bank statements? Like everyone else? Oh sorry you forgot all about it - for how long? :D
you can call your bank or log on to their website and request them to stop sending paper statements ...i have not recieved a single bank statement in the last 3 years for both my bank accounts,...but seriously,tht is a big mistake she did of not keeping track of account,tht is something which surprised me too...


Secondly why do you worry about your husband? Is he in jail? Was he arrested? One thing you hide is – what happened in court? The best thing is have a good criminal lawyer who is familiar with immigration laws, and before applying for citizenship get a good immigration lawyer who is familiar with criminal laws. :eek:

hey now, he is right was the lady who forged your checks indian too...how can she get away with 200 checks,name of a indian and picture of am guessing another race on an id card :confused:
i dont see alot of hispanic geetas or white geeta's...
just kidding :p
 
Mr. Moe are you not jumping to conclusions here? OP said the person FORGED her license and used the checks. The only information known is that the fraudster was a female. I am sure this person would have forged the license with her own photograph. Is that too hard for your to comprehend in your haste to accuse the OP of committing fraud.

I would presume that most banks insure their losses due to fraud and theft, just as insurance companies do by buyig re-insurance.

brb am not sure if i told u before i have a couple of my own,the banks do not endorse hot checks after a limit...its then the business owners job to file a case aganst the person to whom the check belongs to.....
 
I've already answered to the OP with my opinion about her naturalization concerns.

Now I have a comment regarding this whole story:

Something is not right in this story, or some elements are missing.

I find impossible to believe that once an account is closed and the bank is aware of the problem the whole saga to continue over years!?!

Then, under this scenario, is very easy for everyone of us who at a point in time wrote a check to find him/herself in the same situation.

Anybody, absolutely anybody can print checks, MICR (magnetic) toner can be purchased easily, with a laser printer and bunch of check forms purchased from Staples, Office Depot, you're in business...the only thing you need is an original check with the info of the victim :rolleyes:

Moreover, if we go on this path, someone may not need an old check of the victim, just a name and an address is enough.

Assuming that the OP is an honest person and the whole story is true, I believe that the entire responsibility should be shared between the careless merchants and the bank, not to mention that both responsible parties are at minimum a bunch of weirdoes and idiots.

The main reason why I posted on this forum was to make sure that mine and my husband's citizenship application is not in jeopardy because of all these legal issues.

thanks

Gita, it was basically already said how this can effect your N400 ... if you'd be on trial at the time of interview then this may cause a delay - if there is a question if you could be convicted of something that would make you inelegibile of receiving the US-citizenship. If only your name is involved in this identity theft issue, then your husband is completely on the side line. Each petition/petitioner is judged on his on merits. Make sure you keep your documentation together, probably written timeline of the events would be benefitial during the interview - just in case it would come up.

To Sherlock Holmes who posted here before ... Gita did not ask about your investigating talents or sixth sense but about how her situation may effect her family's citizenship application. Your uncalled judgemental reaction may cause others to feel hesitant about asking specific questions about their situations ... not to mention Gita, who does not have to defend herself in front of us here. Your thoughts may be useful in a police task force (although my guess is these guys work more based on facts) but in this forum your well intended advice about immigration is more helpful.

Alex

P.S. Just to be clear ... with 'Sherlock' I was refering to MoeCurly who's name I did not recall when I wrote my post.

thank you Alex

Alex,
thank you for being understanding. I appreciate the line of thought of others. This is exactly the line of thought that the DA's office takes in most of the times we appear. They all think we have done it. Some cities have even gone to the extent of getting the signatures checked by the forensic departments. It is a nightmare we are living through and I do not wish anyone else undergoes this.

Anyway, as Alex put it I am not here to prove anything. I only pray that this situation will not affect my naturalization process. that's all.

thanks
Gita
 
I got into car wreck few years back, I had my checks in the car when it was towed, the tow driver stole my checks and started using them, luckily i monitor my bank accounts almost daily, as soon as I saw first check cashed, I called the bank, closed my account. After I got the cancelled check from bank, I noticed that my check was posted into a checking account of the person who stole it, I started calling the car dealership where it was repaired and also the towing company,and found out who that person is, his company pressed charges against him and sent him to jail and the cops destroeyed all my old checks. I had to send around 30 affidavits and contact 3 credit managing bureaus. I monitored my credit report for 2 years, nothing negative came up, so finally I am free now of all the head aches.
 
Gita... my advice to you is to be sincere and hoenst on the N400 and during the interview, do not hide info and always be ready to support your stories with docs.
