Hi, Looky. Yes, I figured that part of the concern was potential inability to locate your fiance. Hopefully, this time, her being "off the grid" is an attempt to avoid interference from sleazy persons. You are welcome for prayers which are still continuing. I hope you hear from her soon. --RK

RK thanks again for your wishes and prayers.

Geor, same to you thanks.

Today was interview day. I've been trying to call Loreta and still no answer but the international phone is still charged. She has a Cyprus number but its always very tough to get a connection on that, except on weekends I have better odds. I did write the embassy saying, I assume she didn't make it to the interview but she was scared by that 'agent' and I was afraid that maybe she hurt herself. At least maybe that will possibly give us another chance at an interview, if she didn't show up and is ok.

Thea and Geor, I got no news or clues. I'm just living on a prayer, about her. If she is alive, I will hear from her again. Its entirely possible that she has to take time out to think about things. No matter what, we've had a happy and wonderful relationship to remember forever.

Geor your flight to America is coming soon, enjoy it!

Ok I got good news and news that makes my blood boil!

First for the good news, I was able to talk to Loreta today. She is ok.

You know this 'agent' I told you about before? Loreta didn't open the door for him, but he and some lady were waiting for her outside her apartment building. Somehow this 'agent' convinced the police that she was involved in drugs! :blink: So they basically held her for nearly 11 days or so and they also took her 2 phones. They were obviously looking at who was calling her in hopes of finding drug dealers! Anyway obviously they didn't find anything and they released her late Saturday or early Sunday! :devil:

This is absolutely crazy! I don't believe its the embassies fault. This 'agent' probably has closer ties to the police, and I don't believe the US Embassy would have any say in how a foreing country conducts investigations, if they feel there is criminaly activity. But this man is obviously a nutcase! :devil:

P.S. She couldn't attend the interview cause they wouldn't let her free! :devil:

OMG! Can't believe that happened to her! Talk about bad luck huh? I can't imagine what she had to live, and all that because of a lame "agent"!!

At least you've got news from her, and know that she is now ok, and safe at home. I still believe you should report all of this "agent" actions to the USEM, just to let them know what happened, make another interview app. and tell Loreta to be extra extra careful, and if you can go there, you'd better be with her, just in case...

Best wishes to you and Loreta Looky :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Yes Geor, I sent an email to the embassy mentioning this guy 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I sent them another email telling them about this new incident. They responded back today, with a good long paragraph basically saying that it was not the embassies doing, and they don't know who did this. They said they will begin an investigation with the local police to find out why they questioned my fiancee. They also mentioned that this could have a bearing on whether she can get a fiancee visa.

No its not completely bad luck, its the circle of people that you can get mixed up with there. There are plenty of shady characters over there that find the place easy to do criminal activity without gettting caught.

But I have faith in Loreta, but none at all in the Cyprus police. The embassy won't give us another interview until they have investigated this situation. I believe Loreta is safe from these guys cause they totally wasted their time and found nothing on her.

@Looky, I am very thankful that Loreta was released and hopefully without harm. I am including psychological harm because the situation described could be potentially mentally/emotionaly traumatic. Yes, so called "agent" has some kind of problem. I agree with Georgina in all respects. It is high time to pull out the heavy artillery and continue to fight this with all you've got. [Many posts ago, you'll remember I suspected these happenings were not all bad luck/coincidence]. Unfortunately, I've dealt with such "wackos" before and they tend not to give up, habitually preying on those they perceive to be vulnerable. They are generally cowards but are disturbingly tenacious. Thus, the best that one can do to extract oneself from their actions is to either totally disappear off their radar or fight them tooth, claw and nail with a "if I'm going down, you're going down with me" attitude until they eventually go away to seek easier prey. I know, both options are not easy solutions. Looky, in this matter, I continue to pray for you wisdom and Loreta's safety and tenaciousness. Thank you for letting us quickly know that you heard from Loreta. --RK
