Annulment is a civil case and it has to be proven in the court, it's not criminal isn't it? Civil and criminal case has a big difference.
Ross, I think as long as the friend can get the NBI clearance i think that will do and if she will declare that she had this court issue before but can prove that everything is clear and sorted out i think its okay, like mine I had always attached my court decision (annulment) in all my applications.
Good Luck.
