this visa is a journey

Here's the story.

Stayed in Senegal for school for a year. Decided to stay the summer with my fiance. Went to the ministry l'interior for extention of my visa. Gathered all the paperwork. Went to the city police to pick up my paperwork. They needed more information. Gave them that information. They said wait two weeks and we will mail you your papers. it has been 3 weeks and i haven't recieved anything. Most people have told me that I wont recieve anything, this government isn't good with paper work. So, the question is.... my last visa expired the 22nd of May... I'm still here. They gave me a little piece of paper with just a date on it, saying that if something happens I could just show this paper and they will know that my visa is being processed. Interesting....

should i believe them and will i have problems leaving in August to go back to the States?

p.s. went to the Togo embassy to get a tourist visa. They were closed, the Consulate opened just for me and gave me my visa in 30 minutes.... hmmm.. why can't life always be this easy?

Moving this to regional, your post is not asking about how to file an I-129F per where you posted this.

Mrs.Jayb you should not have any problems trying to leave I lived there with my SO for 6 months last year and I didn't get my tourist visa, only stamped my PP every 3 months and was ok when I left had no problems whatsover!
