I am not sure I see the issue, you could be referred to an IJ but why?

I do not understand a part about her not following the case, as she set up the whole thing. You need to see if she placed you on a no fly list, you should usually be informed by mail. Who has access to your mailbox back home in the US?

How so?

If you're worried about CBP interrogation, try this:

1.  Carry every possible bit of paperwork from the Pakistani police that has cleared you.

2.  Carry printouts of any threatening messages from your ex-wife.

3.  The instant you're questioned, hand these over to the CBP agent, explaining what they are.

4.  At the same time as (3.), calmly say, "By the way, my ex-wife is out of status in the U.S.  I'll be happy to give you her coordinates so that your ICE colleagues can visit her, and you can take the credit for it."

It’s been 2 months now I’m outside USA.

 

As previously shared, I am a Green Card holder currently in Pakistan, where a police complaint (FIR) has been lodged against me. I was arrested, released on bail, and my case is currently in court. The police investigation has cleared me, but the court is yet to make a final decision.

Now, as the court hearings have commenced, I find myself in a situation where I urgently need to travel back to the USA. I am seeking guidance on the optimal way to navigate the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) immigration check at the airport.

Specifically, I have the following questions:

1. Given that my case is ongoing, what steps can I take to ensure a smooth immigration check with CBP at the airport?
2. Are there specific documents or information I should have readily available to present during the immigration process?
3. Considering the complexity of my situation, are there any proactive measures I can take to address potential concerns that CBP might have?
4. Is there any recent information or changes in immigration procedures that I should be aware of in light of my circumstances?

I understand that each case is unique, but any insights or advice shared would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this challenging situation. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

Best regards,

Clearing CBP immigration with a pending court case requires careful preparation:

1. Documentation: Carry essential documents, including your valid passport, Green Card, and any documents related to your court case.

2. Legal Representation: Have contact details for your attorney readily available. Inform them about your travel plans and provide a point of contact during your arrival.

3. Explanation: If questioned, provide a concise and truthful explanation for your travel. Emphasize the weak nature of the case, your compliance with legal processes, and the ongoing legal representation.

4. Supporting Documents: Carry any documents supporting your claims, such as legal notices, bail documents, and evidence of the weak nature of the case.

5. Stay Calm: Remain calm and composed during the process. Cooperate with CBP officers, and avoid providing unnecessary details.

6. CBP Awareness: Be aware that CBP may inquire about legal matters. Be transparent but avoid volunteering excessive information. Stick to the facts.

7. Attorney Contact: If needed, request permission to contact your attorney for clarification. Ensure your attorney is available and aware of potential inquiries.

8. Follow Legal Advice: Follow any advice provided by your immigration attorney regarding the interaction with CBP.
