What is the name of your state? CA
I am a permanent resident for 3 years.
How will having a Restraining Order affect my status as a green card holder and chances to get US citizenship in a due time (in a few years).
I am just considering whether to fight an unfair RO or just spare a hassle.
Thanks,
