US Embassy Help to US Perm Resident

[MrsAmera 41]

Hello,

This is a bit of an odd question but I'm hoping someone might have some insight. I've done quite a bit of research and haven't come up with anything. My husband is in Morocco right now with our two kids. He is a US Perm. Resident (almost citizen)and our two kids are both American citizens. All of this hoopla about the Quran burning is freaking me out a bit. Although I highly highly doubt anything will happen in Morocco I do want to have my bases covered since there have been advisories issues to all countries regarding potential unrest. The question is;

- Will the US government help my Perm Resident husband and kids to leave the country if need be? Or do they only help US Citizens (so they would help my kids but not my husband..."?

Any insight?

Is the trip registered through the embassy ? Their first concern will be locating and helping and USC in danger. The issue is if your husband is a citizen of where he is at the US can't go gathering up the resident countries citizens .

Its likely they wont help him because he is not a citizen, they will however help the kids since they are.

In situations of unrest they locate all american citizens in that country and set up a check point where they look at the passports for US Citizen verification before taking them on boats or helicopters. If the trip is registered with the embassy its a lot easier to find them.

- This comes from active duty american military members.

Hi

I have been reading a little bit about it. and i haven't found anything. All documents, even Department of state's webpage, only talks about citizen rights. apparently LPR rights are valid only in USA.

Check this link,

if you find any additional information please post it.

Man that is depressing! I find it hard to believe that they would take my 6 and 3 year old out of the country alone without their father...but then again who knows! I hope it's all for naught and I'm just being anxious over nothing!

Inshallah they will all arrive home safely together!

I know when Jess had to leave Lebanon, they took her to another country for a week before sending her to the states. I think she was in Turkey for a week.

I will pray for their safe return

Hi,

I don't know the answer to your question - sorry.

But, I did look for a "warden's message" on the consulate's (d.o.s) website, and didn't see the message/advisory. Can you let me know where you found it?

Thanks.

Interpol and the State Department had issued warnings if the burning went through... http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/interpol-warning-on-koraan-burning-20100910-153g7.html

I read that the burning had been called off so I think that everything will be okay.
