Criminal proceedings against Father in Law

[leothelion123]

Hi All

I have just very recently discovered that there is criminal proceeding in India against my father in law - currently his trial got a stay order from supreme court. This hasn't been mentioned in IMM5669E - as I only filled up the form on behalf of my spouse with the knowledge I had.

Can the experts please guide if security and criminality checks are undertaken against the parents of the applicants too? My spouse doesn't have any criminal cases against her and have procured her PCC successfully. So will it be a good idea to share this info now with CIC?

PS: I am married less than 6 months back.

Thanks and Regards

As far as I know checks are done on family which is your spouse and children if any .

In the background declaration form, question 6b asks specifically whether you or any of your family members have been either convicted or charged of a crime. Since your wife is an applicant on your permanent residence, and she will have to fill the form.

Checks are primarily done on you, your spouse and your children, listed on the applicants. Parents are not sponsored by CEC and will not be security checked.

Thanks a million Gurindar and Maniac seems father in law is not a family member and his information doesn't need to be declared - please correct me if I am wrong.

I just checked the 5669E and it mentions: you or any of your family members listed in the application of PR ever.....

No, Security and criminality checks applies to only applicant and all whom you are mentioning in CEC application My spouse doesn't have any criminal cases against her and have procured her PCC successfully. So will it be a good idea to share this info now with CIC?

PS: I am married less than 6 months back.

Hi

@leothelion123

I think the members have answered your question; they have defined exactly what CIC see as family. Asking the same question will only result in the same answer!

Thx

My apologies for asking the same question again, does the security and criminality check apply to all applicants in Generic Application form (IMM008)
OR
It also applies to those mentioned in Background/Declaration (IMM5669E)?

Thanks and Regards

Look, they do ask "additional family information" for a reason. If your father-in-law is the Indian equivalent of Don Corleone ("The Godfather"), associated with Al Qaeda, or one of Interpol's most wanted, it might be a problem. But don't sweat the smaller stuff, it's not likely to be an issue.
