Legal proceedings/ immigration status
We are thinking of filing a constructive eviction case against our landlord due to excessive noise from neighbors in the apartment above us. ie using constructive eviction as a defence against early termination of the lease due to the landlords failure to stop the noise/ move our neighbors to a ground floor apartment. I just wondered whether any kind of legal proceedings against me (e.g. the landlord suing me for early termination of the lease) would affect my immigration status. (I have a 2 year conditional green card which needs to be renewed in January 2011).
