My current passport has expired and I am waiting on a new one. They have been taking their sweet time. I have a confirmed, booked flight in 2 days! I need to see an extremely ill family member. I have government-issued, picture ID from another country. Can this count for anything? I have an expired passport and I have a birth certificate. I really need your help with this. Are there any lawyers or government officials with a heart out there who know aviation law with regard to international rules?? Or consular boundaries or ??? The Embassy botched up some things with regard to this and admitted so - to me. Whether they would "officially" admit this is another story. I am in another country and want to fly home. I cannot tell you how important this is! Words could never express it enough. Please help me! The Consular at the Embassy in this country is doing nothing to help me. He walked away from me in the middle of a conversation! He yelled at me in front of everyone!He's UNPROFESSIONAL

having travelled quite a bit during my life, i was always told if one needed help, and your own consulate or embassy would not/could not help, make a beeline to the nearest british embassy/consulate for assistance

I married my husband (now ex) in Jan 98.  He was just visiting the US when we got married and so we had to go through all the immigration stuff to have him stay here.  Did you go to the interview alone?  If you missed the interview as well, the Immigration service will consider that an abandonment of your application.  If your application is no longer in process then your visa status may have expired - you may now be in the country illegally.  I would call an immigration attorney ASAP.

I'm no expert but, how about your passport? Or perhaps your husbands check stub?

If you need that much information, enter "airplane" in the Yahoo search engine. It will be much faster and more reliable than anything you get here.

This is a question that you should absolutely pay an immigration attorney to handle.\n\nFirst, consider that the person is NOW here ILLEGALLY!!\n\nIt would be like he or she only got married for citizenship and that is scrutinized as a typical ruse for entry.\n\nAlso, consider the country the person is from; is it a country considered "friendly" to the USA.  The fact that the person is on a VISA means that they are not from one of the 27 countries that is less restricted for entrance into the USA.\n\nI have a friend from Canada (no visa necessary)who was back and forth for 7 years "courting" the American she just married (there was a provable track record of a long term love relationship and still they had to show proof) AND SHE WAS HERE LEGALLY (having never overstayed the 3 mo. time limit). Also, prior to marriage they consulted an attorney who specializes in this so that they wouldn't make any wrong moves thru ignorance that could prevent her citizenship.\n\nOne requirement is that she cannot travel to see her family for 4 mo. (must remain in the USA) while the paperwork is being processed and it is not known how long this process will take.

USCIS is a new agency having been "sliced out" of the breakup of the old Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).  With a new agency, new rules, new people (many retired not liking the breakup), and new missions it is having difficulties keeping up with the HUGE number of people filing claims.\n\nThe "6 months to get results" is out the window.  I know people that have waited two years!\n\nNow be honest with yourself, is there something in your past that could be slowing it down?  For example an unreported criminal history?  Failure to register for the draft (if you required to do so)?  Has someone else (with or without your knowledge) used your identification (sometimes Green card holders will let friends or relatives "borrow" their card to come into the USA)?  Did your check "bounce due to insufficient funds" or some other reason?\n\nHave you been "bugging them" about your card (each time you call or write or complain your file comes out of the queue and goes into another queue.  Then it is place back in the pile at the back of the queue)?\n\nYou should have a receipt letter and your old green card so you should already be "legal."  So what is the problem?

The truth is. This is really difficult. You'd probably need access to a database of upcoming flights, which will probably mean paying the government. But once you get it in the database, you just need to know a programing language to access and search it.. but i doubt either you or me will every get past trying to gain rights to view a flight schedule, months in advance... especially with all this terrorism stuff.\n\nYour best chance is just having an input box on your site (or whereever you were going to put this) and have it link to reults on travelocity.. or Orbitz

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

Yeah but do you not remember the war with England.\n\nBesides I got a french joke... There was this guy who arrived in france. The guy taking the passports asked him for his. He said he didn't have one. The french guy was like "that is iimpossible you always need a passport when you come to france. The guy said well on D-day there was no french go to show it too.

1). " I can't find a source to tell me how long before I can return"\nThere isn't one.  It's ENTIRELY up to the UK to decide WHEN and IF.\n2). "I can't find out how much immigrations thinks I need in my bank account."\nAgain, there is NO set amount.  It's up to customs agents in the UK to decide that too.\n\n"I just want to make sure all my ducks are in a row before I return to England which I fully intend to do".\n\nYou VOLUNTEERED FAR TOO MUCH INFORMATION.  Be wary of Customs & Immigration agents everywhere; any innocent remark can get their Spidey Senses tingling,  The lesson you should take away from this experience is next time DON'T TALK SO MUCH.  You want to see the Tower of London.  FULL STOP SHUT UP.

It sounds like you are saying that a US citizen is petitioning you to come to the US on a fiancee visa.  If that is the case, his being involved in a high speed chase and imprisoned would not affect your ability to get a visa.  Keep in mind that the consular officer who interviews you will probably know if the petitioner (your fiancee) has a criminal record and may ask you about this.  Please be careful and make sure you know your fiancee well (through personal meetings, not just internet chat) before proceeding to immigrate.

You are not alone in waiting for the paperwork to catch up with reality.\n\nGet all your copies of the paperwork you filed **and their responses**.  Typically, one of the reply form letters should state that your temporary paperwork has been hereby extended.  THat, and your original papers, are the copies you need to bring to the border crossing.\n\nGood luck!

Call the instution first to verify that they are legitimate.  Why would a foreign agency be asking you for your SSN?  Which is only valid in the US?  Be careful.

He overstayed his visa and was set up for deportation? There has to be more to the story, like he overstayed for several years or got arrested. \nAnyway, he  a "self deport" or a VR voluntary return.\n\nHe should go to the nearest American consulate and show his PP, to prove he is no longer in the country-get the PP stameped that he left. (this is important). \nHe should then request the proceedings be dropped b/c he is already out of the country.\nIf he doesn't, the hearing will occur and the judge will order him deported in abstencia. That is a legal judgement: the order of deportation. Before the hearing there is no order. So even though he missed the hearing it might have been continued...and no order issued.\n\nSo, will he ever be allowed back in the States? \nOrdered deported :Not likely\nVoluntary Return (he left and there is no order): He maybe able to get a visa (after waiting) to go back to visit.\nHe did overstay, but he also did leave and wasn't forced out (deported).
