In the US, would a person's international passport's application be rejected if he has a bench warrant?

since they check your record, you would be arrested in most cases.

The USA PATRIOT Act warrants aside, which are readily granted ex parte -- law enforcement agency can only enter a home without a warrant under special circumstances (hot pursuit, danger of fire, etc.). There is a principle of "exigent circumstances" discussed in this article: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2194/is_n9_v65/ai_18826919/pg_1  And US Customs may have greater rights than other police agencies, although a quick search just now has not clarified that point for me. The cases below might help on that:\n\nHere's a recent case concerning Customs entry of a ship, U.S. v. Villamonte-Marquez http://supreme.justia.com/us/462/579/case.html and one of a car, U.S. v. Martinez-Fuerte http://supreme.justia.com/us/428/543/case.html (Border Patrol; discusses warrantless arrests by ordinary police -- for example on the front porch of a house)\n\nPROBATION OFFICERS are a special case. Here's a memo (in MS Word *.doc format) on that: http://www.dps.state.ak.us/apsc/bulletins/legalmanual/NPROBATIONOFFICERSANDPRIVATEPERSONSEARCHES.doc\n\nADDENDUM: I would not take too seriously unsupported statements by others regarding legislation supposedly signed by President Clinton in derogation of Constitutional rights. In fact, the validity of parts of the USA PATRIOT that purport to do away with Constitutional rights (habeas corpus, etc.) in certain cases have yet to be tested in the US Supreme Court.

Phonetic spelling at it's worse, LOL, it is felony.\n\nIf you are convicted of a felony you can lose your passport privileges, actually the country you are in might let you go but the country you are going to may refuse you entry.

In general, absolutely.  But like any evidence it needs to be authenticated, and it will be excluded if it is not relevant (or if it contains hearsay, or is more prejudicial than probative, etc.)  It may also be excluded in a criminal case if it is a police recording obtained wwithout a warrant.

Generally, for a crime of moral turpitude such as assault, you will not be admissable into the United States.  Waivers are available depending upon which type of visa you desire.

You have to go the the US High commission and you have to submit your attested finger prints (Attested from the Ministry of external affairs of the country you are currently citizen of) along with the copy of your passport. Then the high commission will send it to FBI and you should have the Cleareance within 1-2 Months.

American Consulates and Embassies don't care about invitation letters.  The Consulate will look at your godson's financial resources in determining if he will be granted a visa.\n\nGenerally, applicants from poorer countries are denied under 214B, intending immigrant.  The Visa Officer will assume that the applicant plans on illegaly staying in the United States unless the applicant can prove other wise.\n\nHonestly, the average visa officer is more likely to deny a visa if the applicant is going to stay with family who immigrated to the United States.

No. I went through the same thing when I wanted to bring my son to Panama. His father had to give written consent for him to get his passport.

Not necessarily.  If you are on parol or probation and prohibited from traveling, you will not be issued a US passport.  Also, if you owe outstanding child support, you will not be issued one.  Just because you are a convicted felon, does not automatically preclude you from travelling abroad, but each country has its own guidelines for issuing visas.  As it was mentioned in a previous reply, Canada will deny visa for any criminal history - but if you are from US, you don't need visa or passport to enter.

England works a touch different than the US (in regards as to where to submit), but the child may have duel citizenship.  Get to the Indian Consulate to get these questions answered

NOT ONLY CAN YOU HAVE A BENCH WARRANT ARREST TO DEAL WITH, BUT MY HUSBAND HAD A BAD CHECK FINE THAT WAS PAID OFF 8 YEARS AGO AND WAS TURNED DOWN FROM A JOB WITH INTEL BECAUSE OF IT.  YOUR RECORD CAN HAUNT YOU LONG AFTER YOU THINK YOU HAVE DEALT WITH IT.  THE UNFORTUNATE RESULT OF WAITING TIL NOW TO PAY IT OFF IS THAT, ON YOUR RECORD IT WILL SHOW THE CRIMINAL DATE 10YRS AGO AND IT WILL SHOW THE PAID OFF DATE, NOW, BUT SINCE IT IS BEING RECORDED AS PAID NOW, FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS THIS IS WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW---EVEN THOUGH IT  HAPPENED 20 YRS AGO.  TAKE CARE OF IT, AND WISH FOR JUSTICE SYSTEM GLINCHES.

No, you will not be denied, but their may be another form you need to fill out since you are going to get divorced. I know that you have to fill out a specific form if you are getting your green card renewed, plus filing for divorce. It's to show that you entered the marriage on good terms, not to get into the country. So there may be an extra form as well when applying for citizenship.

No, unless you have a visa.

You could commit a crime in another country and then serve time as a "guest" of that country.\nBut seriously, many countries give away citizenship in much the same way we do in America. Typically those seeking citizenship come from economically depressed, or politically unstable "3rd world" countries. Americans can travel freely throughout most of the world because there is little concern that we will remain as a burden upon their social system.  There are plenty of job opportunities in other countries that are open to Americans. Once there, you can apply for citizenship. Of course you can apply at any foreign Embassy or Consulate here in the USA... but without "loads of cash" it would be more honorable of you to have gainful employment in that country first. Do an Internet search for jobs abroad.

If it was a felony then your done. If it was a misdemenor then you have a small chance, but usually they don't grant citizenship to criminals.

You will be able to enter if you have a valid passport.  You will probably be stopped on the way back INTO Canada so that they can check for outstanding warrants.  If everything is taken care of you should have no problem. Have fun!!
