Pending Sexual Contact Litigation

[Other 0]

This is crazy because a friend of mine also has a fiance is Turkey and has is paperwork ready, but doesn't want to file because one of his ex employees filed a sexual contact lawsuit against him. Can a pending litigation in this nature cause a problem with his fiance getting a K1 visa? He hasn't been convicted, so he can still say NO to the criminal act. Even if he did have to say YES later on it wasn't a case against a girlfriend or wife, but an employee. How does this effect his possibility of bringing his fiance over? The case is supposed to go to trial in February.

Should my friend file now and believe that the pending litigation won't effect the outcome and hope that even if he is convicted he would have slid the Visa documents through before the conviction or should he wait until the case has been cleared?

If he gets convicted what is the implications to bringing his fiance over from Turkey?

BTW. He has known his fiance for over 10 years and first meet her when he lived in Turkey, so he didn't contact her through a marriage broker. Does this matter even if he gets convicted?

Can answer NO on the IMBRA questions, no record of convictions at the moment.

Note, IMBRA rules are for disclosing these records to the beneficiary, for the benificiary's protectiom.

Moving this to the IMBRA forum.

If it's not criminal, IMBRA doesn't apply and it has no impact on immigration unless he loses his job and no longer qualifies as sponsor.

If I were in this situation I would definitely file now before there is a conviction. Your friends attorney can try to get a continuance so his criminal checks come back clean. Sounds like a good plan to me.

"Lawsuits" never result in "criminal convictions". Only criminal trials of criminal confessions do. Of course, if they are ready to file, by all means, do so.

Your right, I missed that part.
