How does an EPO-001 affect immigration status of an H1B immigrant

An EPO-001 emergency order of protection in California apparently can be issued by a law enforcement officer if he or she believes that protection is immediately warranted. The length of time allowed is seven days given that it is not issued by a judge. Such would not appear to be capable of affecting your immigration status. However, any further altercations with your ex-girlfriend could lead to immigration consequences.
