Hi,
I am an Indain citizen, came to US on H1B in the year 2005. I filed LC in JAn 2007.I got married in march 2007 to an Indain girl who was also working on H1b prior to our marriage. I filed I-485 in July 2007 with out including my wife due to martial differences. my I-485 is still pending. I am on EAD now.
My wife went to India and filed 498a (dowry harassement case) against me, my sister and my parents in india in august 2007. My parents and my sister got bail in august 2007. The Indian court issued non bailable arrest warrent against me in august 2007 , as i did not attend the court. My parents are attending the court in India. After obtaining bail from the court, my sister came to US with out informing indian court. So the Idnain court issued Non bailable arrest warrent against her in the year 2008. As I and my sister are not going to India to attend the court, the arrest warrents and criminal proceedings are pending against us from the past 3 years.
As we both did not go to india and avoid indian court, our passports were also impounded in the year 2009. my sister is now working in US on H1B.

Later I approached High court in India and obtained stay on passport impounding order and I went to India in august 2010. The Indian police arrested me and produced me before Indian court. The magistrate sent me for judicial remand, i.e I was put in jail for 5 days in 498a case. Later i was released on bail with some conditions. still 498a case is pending in indian court.
As my PD become current, I want to go back to US with indian court permission.

I guess my wife who lives in india now,informed USCIS all this.

1) As I was arrested by Indian police and put in jail for 5 days , my passport impounding, still case is pending in indian court, how it effects on my pending GC processing?

2) What happens if USCIS knows all this?

3) what happens to my sister future H1B extension/ future GC processing?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,
Sorry to hear what you are going through. I suggest you hire an immigration lawyer here who works for you and puts your scenario infront of USCIS that atleast delay your case. I didnt understand why you went to india, BTW how long were you in US after passport impounding. How can your employer let you work after passport impounding.
 
I was in US from 2005 may to march 2007. i went to india in march 2007 to get married. after marraige, i came to US in march 2007. i stayed in US from march 2007 - august 2010. my passport was impounded in september 2009 ( i was in US at that time). i got stay on passport impounding on 23-oct-2009. i did not inform my employer that my passport was impounded. even if my passport was impounded also, i worked. i.e i was in project .
