Need your valuable answers/advise on my Indian passport reissue after deported from USA:
I was deported from USA due to a CIMT charge in Jan, 2008. While arrival at airport, I came out of the flight with my passport in my hand. I guess i told customs that I lost the job and overstayed. There is no stamp of deportation in my passport. My passport expired in Jan, 2009 and now I am planning to apply for reissue the same.
Questions:
1) In the passport reissue forms, Do I need to mark "YES" on - Have you ever returned to India on Emergency Certificate (EC) or were ever deported or repatriated?
2) If I mark "NO", Is there a way our India passport office will know about my deportation and the reason for deportation?
3) Will I have any issues of getting passport reissued?
Thanks in advance for your support and answers.
