American Express in Islamabad takes your passport?

Hey everyone I have a question. When the fiance in pakistan goes to submit packet 3.5 at American express in Islamabad. ..do they keep their passport? The Amex people over there told my fiancé that he had to submit it and he would get it back from the embassy or something like that later... is this true? Please tell me I'm worried? !

Did you mean the American Embassy? Because American Express is a Credit Card.

American Express wont take passport, CO at US-Embassy at the time of interview, they will ask her/him for passport.

I know that American Express is a credit card, but in Islamabad the courier that handles sending stuff to and from the US Counsulate is also called American Express.

I also thought that American Express wouldnt take his passport, but they did. I'm worried now. He said the people at Amex told him he needed to send it. This is a normal K-1 visa, I didnt read in anyone else's experience that their passport was taken at Amex. If anyone else has experienced this.
