Yes its called the 6th Amendment.

Your question is kind of unclear. Additional details would be helpful. Generally, if the alleged crime is Federal in nature, the government can drag their @sses indefinitely, but 22 years? I don't think so. When you say "alleged", do you mean that actual charges were filed? If not, it seems difficult to believe that ANY agency would have an ongoing investigation for that long a period of time. If the alleged crime is Federal in nature, you (or better, an attorney representing you) will have to get the Federal Prosecutor's Office to disclose their intentions. I can't see how a judge, even a Federal judge, would allow an open-ended investigation, without any charges filed, to drag on for this period of time. You can go ahead and apply for the passport, but, if part of the original investigation included an order that you not be allowed to leave the country, and you DO leave the country, you will probably be arrested upon your return. This happened to a friend of mine, and he was put into solitary confinement for three days, treated very inhumanely, and has already spent several hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees in an effort to get it resolved - and this was for a very minor, "white-collar"-type crime (no one hurt on any level). You are entitled to a status on your situation, but don't expect anyone to hand it to you on a silver platter. You will have to pursue it yourself. Tred carefully and lightly, but assertively. Good luck.

There are statutes of limitations on most crimes (not murder, for example) but often it runs from the time it was discovered (or should have been.)
On the other hand, that only goes to prosecution for the crime. It can still count against him in immigration determinations.

proceed to advance knowledge because at present no longer an excellent purchase of people learn about this very severe concern. Our feminized society has been conditioned to believe that for the duration of consumer-friendly words women folk might want to be sufferer and in consumer-friendly words adult men abused. With adequate knowledge and competition, with somewhat of success, funding and learn will be distribute a techniques more effective gently (instead of in consumer-friendly words concentration on woman victims) and feminism will lose administration of the kinfolk Violence market.

There are statutes of limitations for certian crimes. The less serious, the shorter the time limit to prosecute.

if you were never convicted of a crime then you should have no problem getting a passport.
