He DOES have some rights, just not the full Constitutional rights granted American citizens. For instance, the police can’t just line him up against the wall and shoot him when they find him. Authorities will have some probable cause when they detain him.
But the full menu of Constitutional rights is not available to illegal aliens.
The best option. Just don’t violate India’s laws doing so!
We tried. I was there last fall. No help from embassy - deny, deny, deny. I had a ticket to fly back there on March 11. Fell and broke my leg on Feb. 17. This has been a really, really bad past year.
I know a Vietnamese-American woman who is cheering this loudly.
Her unmarried sister in Vietnam was taking care of their sick mother. Their mother died, and without any other immediate family in Vietnam, my friend applied to bring her sister to the USA so they could live together.
It took 12 years going through the legal channels. The sister was just approved to come to the USA
My friend is SOOO angry at Biden and all the border-jumpers.
Bummer.
Thanks! Didn’t know what the details were on that!
You can’t file an I-130 for someone in the country illegally. They must leave and go back to their home country to await processing and determination. AND, the fact that he has an overstay is going to be a problem. (Friend married a girl from Indonesia who came over on a student visa and overstayed before finally going home. There were many hoops that had to be jumped through before he could get her a K-1 visa).
Your husband is a criminal and he never had any rights here, only privileges that can be withdrawn at the pleasure of his hosts.
When he did not leave when he overstayed his welcome he is now a trespasser.
Since you are so in "lo-ve" you are free to go with him back to his country.
Now, shoo, you stupid person, shoo!
It is not true.
Holding a visa means you are a visitor, a guest. This man has overstayed his visa by 12 YEARS!
2 doors down I have Vietnamese people that moved in in 2022....I say people not family because there are too many people and vehicles coming and going for it to only be one nuclear family.
As I understand it many Asian cultures don’t embrace the concept of “single family home” and live communally.....and that’s exactly what I see.
I associate 3 primary vehicles with the residence.....after 2 years none have license plates from my state and all 3 vehicles have plates from 3 different states (Michigan, Mississippi and Pennsylvania).....probably a logical explanation for that but I sure can’t figure it out.....weird none the less IMO.
The homeowner runs a nail salon at the local mall.
No doubt my paranoia but I’m wondering if the house is being used as a weigh station of sorts moving people in and out to work at the salon.
Lots of UBER pick ups and drop offs as well.
None the less, I made the decision to report my observations to ICE.....whether they investigate or not I have no idea, as their web site states they do not give feedback on investigations.
So I figure, if they’re on the up and up no harm no foul.
If you see something say something right? 🤷
Just a thought but does India allow people without proper visas to stay in their country? I suspect not.
I doubt there’s another country in the world that’s as lax as the US about allowing people to overstay their legal time here......it’s obscene the things this country allows people from other countries to get away with.
Agree and highly agree.
As to "3 vehicles have plates from 3 different states (Michigan, Mississippi and Pennsylvania)," the local or state police should be notified. States in which I have lived or worked all have limits within which to register a vehicle in the local jurisdiction. Usually this involves both proof of residency and paying some taxes to that local authority. Not doing so should result in penalties.
Interesting...thanks for the tip, I may just look in to that. 👍
He has the right to return to India.
And I was correct…
Foreigners
Persons in India without either a valid Indian citizenship or a visa are considered by the central government as illegal and unlawful immigrants. Illegal immigrants are subject to The Foreigners Act, 1946 which defines a foreigner as a person who is not a citizen of India. According to Foreigners (Amendment) Order, 2015 persons belonging to minority communities in Bangladesh and Pakistan, namely, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who were compelled to seek shelter in India due to religious persecution or fear of religious persecution and entered into India on or before 31 December 2014 with or without valid documents including passport or other travel document are granted exemption from the application of provisions of the Foreigners Act, 1946. Where the nationality of a person is not evident, the onus of proving whether a person is a foreigner or not shall lie upon such person. Furthermore, anyone who believes that a foreigner has entered India, or the owners and managers of the property where such a foreigner resides illegally in India must inform the nearest police station within 24 hours of their presence becoming known. The Foreigners Act empowers the Indian administration to detain a person until they are deported back to their country.
Illegal migrants
Preventing the entry of illegal migrants into India is important as they impose pressure on citizens and pose a security threat, especially in sensitive areas such as Jammu and West Bengal. For example, the Indian security establishments said that “Some Rohingyas sympathizing with many militant group’s ideologies may be active in Jammu, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mewat and can be a potential threat to internal security.”
According to Indian law, illegal immigrants are not refugees. Since India is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, the United Nations principle of non-refoulement and impediment to expulsion does not apply in India. Illegal immigrants are denied impediment to expulsion if they do not fall within the host country’s legal definition of a lawful refugee.
Illegal immigrants are people who migrate to a country in violation of the immigration laws of that country, or the continued residence of people without the legal right to live in that country. Illegal immigration tends to be financially upward, from poorer to richer countries.
In 2005, the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act, 1983 was rejected by the Supreme Court of India which held that the act “has created the biggest hurdle and is the main impediment or barrier in the identification and deportation of illegal migrants.” On 9 August 2012, during a Supreme Court hearing about a public interest litigation petition for deportation of illegal migrants, it was told that the policy of the government of India does not support any kind of illegal migration either into its territory or illegal immigration of its citizens and the government is committed to deporting illegal Bangladeshi migrants, but only lawfully.
Good answer.
But this is not the system’s fault. There is a way for you and your legal immigrant lady to acquire Perm Resident status for her and . . . okay, because of bad advice . . . you did not avail yourself of it.
Bottom line, you’re a US citizen, your wife was in the US legally and had status . . . no reason you could not pursue a green card for her as your wife.
