Hear me ROAR!

We've been under AP for 14 months! I have written letters and emails, visited the embassy in london twice and called incessant times. No avail. You can imagine the pain/anger/hurt/frustration we've been going through.

It gets worse.

After his first interview on Nov 5, 2012, the CO held on to his passport and asked him to submit additional documents so she can issue the visa. Documents sent, the passport was not returned with or without visa. We had to request the passport so he could travel for christmas in Africa as we'd planned.

We since returned the passport in January 2013.....and they've held on to the passport since then. He had another interview in October 2013....no visa, and the passport was not returned.

In the interim, the company he works for lost most of their contracts and had to downsize....and you know how it goes. Now he is looking for a new job and he needs his passport which has his UK residence permit stamped on it for work! Without which he has been able to find a job.

We have since requested the return of the passport....before christmas and no response. So he is in essence passport less and visa less. He cant travel, he cant work, he cant enroll for a new masters program that he wants to....we're literally screwed in every angle!

I have written, called and wailed....all to no avail. How can the US embassy hold on to someone's passport with a wanton disregard for the person's needs/interests and uses of the passport, (which in the first place was not issued by them?)

At this point I am thinking of withdrawing the entire application and relocating to be with him...so we can be together and continue our lives. Any advice as to how I can do that?

This is beyond me. The immigration lawyers I have met with are dumbfounded.

I need to a) Get his passport back so he can work/travel/go back to school and b) withdraw the fiance application so we can explore other options.

Worried Annie.


I guess this is an information only thread now. Sorry. Any help/suggestions/answers pls PM me.

Thanks
