Gc Taken Away By Border Police!! What To Do?
Hi fellow asylum friends: My cousin needs help with a serious situation. After getting his green card he decided to visit his country of origin. He entered with his national passport with no issue, stayed there for two weeks. But when he tried to leave for the US yesterday, he was denied permission to leave. He had to present a foreign document before he could depart (routine practice in that country). But when the border guard saw the green card the guard said something like "What did you do to qualify for political asylum abroad?" The police took away the green card and gave him a official-looking piece of paper. The paper asks him to report to the local police department in ten days to talk about "your situation." He still has his passport but it was stamped with something like "exit denied 3/11/2007."
My cousin is very worried right now. How can he leave and return to the US? I will call lawyers for him tomorrow. Do you think he should contact the US embassy? Can the American government help us? What can he do?
