Usually you are chosen from voting rolls but obviously that isn't the case here. You will have to go and explain it to them. You might be able to call the number on the notice you got.

I doubt it, since jury duty is not considered a job and is more considered a duty to your government, but I would double check with your unemployment office just in case.

If it is for jury duty, it's the luck of the draw, I am a Police Officer and have been selected 7 times in eight years, never made it to the jury....go figure. You can be subpoenaed for court cases as a witness as it is needed. I know people who have never been selected for duty. Makes you wonder how good the system is.

Did you acknowledge receipt of the summons?\n\nWho told you that you were in contempt?\n\nIf it is small claims and you were served but did not show, you usually automatically lose rather then be held in contempt.\n\nRegardless, contact the courts.  I am sure the matter can be resolved with a rescheduled date.  If you address the issue promptly, worst case you might incur a fine but you will probably just be issued another court date.

If you get a summons then you need to go to court.  By not going you automatically lose the case.  If I were you I would contact a lawyer about it.

A bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. While the PD won't actively pursue it, getting pulled over for a traffic violation becomes a major problem. So go do it - not because of the arrest factor but because it's your duty as a US citizen. We're entitled to a trial by a jury of our peers. You wouldn't want your peers skipping out if god forbid, you were on trial!

You can file a small claims lawsuit against a non-US citizen.  However, you will also need to make sure they are properly servied.  Collecting the judgment may be difficult if they do not have assets in your state.\n\nIn order for a court have jurisdiction on a nonresident defendnt, the defendant must have a sufficient level of personal or business contacts with the state in which the court sits that the defendant could reasonbly expect to be sued there.  These contacts are generally referred to by the term of art "minimum contacts". Generally speaking, a party is subject to personal jurisdiction in a state if the party has purposely availed itself of the resources of protection of the state.

There are differences from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  For example, in my jurisdiction you receive summons to be a member of the jury panel from which prospective petit jury members (and alternates) are selected by lot.  No matter what the outcome of the case, including dismissal, your obligation to that specific summons is completed.\n\nDuring the last 20 years I have been summoned to serve on that panel 3 times and my wife has also been selected 3 times.  Once she has been selected (I never have so selected) to serve on a petit jury for a specific case and that case was dismissed due to a plea bargain and her obligation was complete.\n\nDon't believe all that you read here in Yahoo Answers, just use that advice to initiate your own finding of the facts and start by checking with the clerk of courts as to the obligation in your jurisdiction.  It is likely that they will have documentation for you detailing your obligations.

Sorry, she is required by law to appear on the date, time and at the place shown on the Summons.  She can explain her circumstances to the Judge and she may be excused for said jury duty.  \n\nGood Luck and Take Care

If you know that the summons is really for you, don't ignore it. Only the court gets away with playing with technicalities.\n\nHowever, be sure to correct the spelling so that you get credit for showing up and following whatever orders they give to you.

Here is the place to start. Contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. You may need to spend some time on the phone to sort things out.  Have as many documents in your hand as you can when you call.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/backgrounds/cbground.htm

There are many factors involved in the interview process and you have not given me enough information to gauge your particular situation but the factors include country of origin, economic factors, relations in the States, will you have a financial source to support yourself, are you English-speaking (they will not admit it but it is a factor), your educational background, technical skills, moral and criminal background, immunity issues and character references.  Depending upon your criminal background you may be denied citizenship.  It will be heavily dependent also on your country of origin, and all of the other factors I have described.  But when you say  you "do not have good moral character" that pretty much precludes your getting citizenship.  I would rephrase that, get a good immigration attorney and apply from a non-controversial state for citizenship if you can reposition yourself.  Also, I would try to get letters of reference, even personal ones, from Americans and local religious leaders, even twelve-step program proctors to show you have tried to better yourself.  No nation wants a liability so you need to market yourself better and show some portfolio of good references for the consular officials who will be upbraided should you cause problems stateside.  They do get in trouble when they OK someone they shouldn't or someone who causes crimes in the US so you need to make the decision for them to gamble on you.  You should also get local police records if you haven't already as they will need them.  If you can get a letter from your equivalent of our probation system that you have behaved, that would be good to.  Be prepared to have to provide documentation for everything and for a very lengthy interview process.

what are you trying to do, if you want to summons someone as witness you should try and ascertain their address.\nYahoo will not give out such information unless order to by the court. If this is the in states which is what i think it is, you may have to deal with confidentiality laws. Please clarify. I have outlined what happens in the UK.

GETTING OUT OF JURY DUTY - EXCUSES IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SERVE\n  After receiving your summons, you may determine that you are not in a position to serve and need to get out of jury duty.  If you have a compelling reason, you can ask to get out of jury duty by writing the court.  This may allow you to avoid the call-in process altogether.  Exemptions for getting out of jury duty are generally given for the following reasons:\n        You are over 70 years old.\n        You are a volunteer firefighter, rescue squad member or ambulance crew member.\n        You must care for young children or elderly adults, if your absence will put them at risk.\n        You are so important to the operation of a business that your absence will cause that business to fail.\n        You are an attorney, physician, dentist or registered nurse.\n        You do not have a car and are unable to use public transportation.\n  Excuses are not given through the mail for general work or family care responsibilities.  These problems will be considered during the jury selection process (after you actually report to the courthouse.)\n  There are also positions you can take that will help you in avoiding jury duty.  Those jury duty excuses will be discussed below under "Jury Selection."\n  Some jurors have questioned whether a summons sent by standard first class mail actually carries legal weight.  Unless a summons is sent via registered mail and signed for by the recipient, it's difficult for the government to prove that the summons was actually received.  Remember that a summons is a command from the court that you appear.  Disregarding a summons (no matter how it comes to you) is a crime.
