Doc sab was wife beater but need to know who started first ;)
Where does it say wife beater?
“intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury” - this can mean many things. Also, he was only charged for that, and he was never convicted. Stop spreading lies when people are already are in so much trouble.
Please read again.....Timilsena was charged in 2024 with “intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury” to his wife, a class A misdemeanor. The case was dismissed upon the prosecution’s request.
You’re looking at the case at the state level, not the federal level. Even if the case was dropped or the person was not found guilty in state court, it doesn’t matter for immigration. Under U.S. federal law, a person can lose their visa if they did a
Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT). A CIMT means the person did something bad, like lying, stealing, or hurting someone, and shows they have poor character. Intentionally trying to hurt a wife is a bad character trait.
The federal government looks at the person’s actions, not just what happened in the state court.
Conviction is required. Allegation is not sufficient and a person is innocent until proven guilty. Convict bhara dimiss bhako bhaye you’re right SIS, but he was never convicted and the case was dropped.
Under 8 CFR 214.2(f)Your SEVIS record can be terminated even if you have not been convicted at the state court level. There is no requirement under federal immigration law or SEVIS regulations that a criminal conviction must occur before a student's SEVIS record is terminated.
DHS websites:
Trigger for SEVIS Termination: Arrest, charge, or law enforcement contact
Is Conviction Required?: No
Ahile ko DHS ko policy yestai bhara ta lawsuit garya hola ni ta. Which section of INA gives that power to DHS? Aba sarkar le manmani garyo bhane ta bhannai k nai sakincha ra!
@ ShaniDev:
In 2003, Congress gave DHS the authority to enforce immigration laws under the INA (which was already law since 1952).
What people are seeing now — like more immigration arrests, border checks, and visa denials — is because the U.S. government is using the INA more fully and forcefully. The law has always been there, but how strongly it’s used depends on the president, policies, and resources at the time.
DHS shares information on its websites to help educate people like you.
What section of INA gives DHS the sole authority to terminate the status without due process? There is something called removal proceeding if DHS wants to terminate the status and they initiate that by sending NTA. I don't know how legal it is to directly terminate the SEVIS recod and ask people to leave. This will definitely get challenged in the court. Let's wait and see what the court says.
