It was based on a fraudulent incident. She was attempting to manipulate the system in order to get a US residency green card by convincing the INS that she was a victim of a domestic violence incident in which my criminal case was administrated and dismissed by the prosecution.

Yes, there is a way to remove an active restraining order in Colorado. It requires proof that the victim no longer wants the restraining order, there is no threat to the victim, and there has been substantial time since the issuance of the restraining order. You may want to retain a local attorney to handle this for you, most should be able to complete it at a minimal fee.

The order of protection is not a criminal record, it is just an order. If the case was dismissed it will not be on the computer.
