Legal Question in International Law in India
Marriage to US citizen to avoid deportation
I had a lawsuit pending in India for a contract breach with a company and now the court has ruled to fulfill the agreement. So i have to go back. But meantime i am planning on marrying a US citizen. I am on work-visa. Will this help me from not going back to India? or will this affect my greencard process? or i Should do what Indian court ordered me to do? what are my options?

Re: Marriage to US citizen to avoid deportation
This is a Immigration issue and you should consult your INS agent before leaving the country. As far as India local law is concerned, contact your local attorney to inquire if he could make appearances in India for you. Good luck!
Re: Marriage to US citizen to avoid deportation
Thank you for your email. You may marry your fiancee and adjust status (file for your Green Card) while here in the U.S. You may also file for work authorization (allows you to work for any employer - not just the employer that has sponsored your H-1B) and advanced parole (this document will allow you to travel while your Green Card is pending). This way you may travel back to India per the court order. You may then re-enter the U.S. on your advanced parole document. This way you will not have to until after your trip to India to apply for a green card.
Please feel free to call me directly if you have further questions. I may be reached at 619.233.0900.
