    Is this Perjury?

    If I submit this declaration in USA family Court under the penalty of perjury : the USA Embassy Counselor in India told me that my Green Card petition is pending which is sponsored by your husband and until it is decided .I cannot get any visa to USA. My husband bluntly denied pursuing my Green card petition which was approved sept 2006.This way my husband further controlled my entry in USA by neither following up with my green card petition nor canceling it. Even after obtaining USA citizen ship in 2007 January ( about which I came to know recently) he did not file for any visa for me.

     

    and later over the matter of green card or any of its related issue if asked in Indian court during cross examination under oath I answer : that I do not remember or I do not have any knowledge if my husband ever filed a green card for me.

     

        Will it be perjury in USA law if the indian statement is brought in notice of USA court?

    It's generally perjury if you knowingly make a false material statement to a court. So, if the U.S. Embassy staff in India did not make the statement you said it did, for example, then submitting that false statement to the court is perjury. Similarly, if you mislead the court into believing that a green card is pending when you know that is not the case, that too is likely perjury.
