charged in any country with a criminal offence

[spr001]

HI all,

I will keep it short and in points:

Current state:
> Have been in UK for 5 years , will apply for ILR soon.
> SET(O) form section 7.5 states :
Have you or any dependants who are applying with you ever been charged in any country with a criminal offence for which you have not yet been tried in court?
> I have a pending court case which has not yet been tried. Family issue.
> There is no charge sheet or police custody, just various forms of documentations between me and other party.
> I have never done anything wrong.
Question:
> Does a pending court case fall into "charged with a criminal offence" ?
> If yes nad I declare YES to the above question, will it affect my ILR application.
> Can someone direct me to relevant caseworker information ?

Any help on this will be highly appriciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have modifed my query, if anyone need details please send me a private message.

A pending prosecution may mean the case will be held until a decision on your criminal case is decided.

it is a civil case and UKBA doesnt care about your marital disputes.

so dont worry about anything, it will be done

Are your sure the 'protection of women from domestic violence act, 2005' is not a criminal statute?

Thanks, I checked with a solicitor. This is not a prosecution and hence does not stand under @charged with criminal offense@

Thanks, there are different categories of the said act. The act has been widely misused, as in my case, but that's a different matter. Hence the govt has modefied the law to tune it as per the grievences and proof available. Apparently saying "Hello" loudly could also fall into women harrassment....

Thanks, I got it confirmed and this is not even a civil case, it falls under family court and in any stretch of imagination could fall under criminal case.
