My estranged wife (now in India) is threating me with false criminal charges (dowry/domestic violence) in India, as I have refused to pay her an unfair high alimony to for a mutual consent divorce. Marriage was 10 months long. Married in India.

Will her false allegations and criminal proceedings (initiated in India) have any issues towards my US employment? I am on L1 visa, employed with Amazon.

Need help from folks who’ve been in similar situation.

    Well, did you ever hit her? It’s not like domestic violence toward women isn’t common in India.

    First, get a lawyer asap. Second, find a way to get her to admit that she knows any claims against you would be false.

    How long do you expect the criminal charges in India to sort out?
    It may cause issues in your next visa stamping or passport renewal because there is a background check in India for it.
    I think your wife or her lawyers know this, that's why stacking up charges against you to cause problems with your visa so that you bend and pay them off quickly

    • Bro. Trust me it’s not that easy. My friend is in a similar situation. 3/4 months is a dream which never gonna come true even if you get a hot shot lawyer. You will be spending months tying to disprove the false allegations first.

      Very clever strategy by them. Cases are notorious to get dragged in Indian court system. If your case is strong, you can press counter-charges on them for ur potential stress and losses in your visa and employment due to false allegations. See if it deters them and make them withdraw their case.
