I guess you could stay in the US and ignore the whole thing... except your sureties will suffer. I don't understand why you put up a bond - I guess Singapore threatended to cancel his passport?Aomory wrote:With regards to US might not look favorably upon an immigrant.. well i spoke to a lawyer here in the US, according to them he will not have a problem being a US citizen.

Singapore passport expired 3 years ago. He got a temporary passport which is expiring next week. The bond was an honest mistake, I guess I was scared by the threat

Mistake ? Threatened ? Well, let me say, from what I know from only 1 case ..PNGMK wrote:Damn - what a mistake. You could have stayed in the US without a valid passport for him until he had US citizenship. Well now you need him to understand the consequences of not doing NS and get him on a plane in less that a week, is that correct?
No there is a third choice. The Singapore govt can't really sue you if you're overseas. So yes - you can default.ecureilx wrote:Mistake ? Threatened ?

You don't get a choice - either bring the kid back or sign the bond ..
Casually talking with some friends, the reaction was different - one group said, the kid must come here .. than burn his father, and the other, let the kid do what he likes ..
Well, for the second, I remember one of the NS defaulter had to come back to attend to some funeral or something .. not a wise decision, if you ask me, to default let things go to hell..
