  1. Participated in the Roundtable Meeting at U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad on February 14, 2020 with Deputy Assistant Secretary for Overseas Citizen Services Karin King. Consular Chief Eric Alexander moderated a discussion on the nexus between NRI marital disputes and International Parental Child Abduction (IPCA) cases.  The invitation read ‘DAS King has a particular interest in IPCA issues, and we feel your expertise in NRI and child custody issues will provide her with valuable perspective on the interconnectivity between these issues in India.’ Background to the roundtable meeting:  Within India’s U.S. citizen community, the vast majority of adult U.S. citizens and Indian-citizen parents of minor U.S. citizens resided in the United States for university studies and work opportunities.  An unfortunate byproduct of this scenario is a high number of child custody and International Parental Child Abduction cases that develop when this population encounters marital issues in the United States and U.S. citizen children are brought back to India against the wishes of one parent.  The United States is interested in working more closely with India to increase cooperation on IPCA issues and has been encouraging the Government of India to accede to the Hague Convention.
