[Teacher Mark 53]

Just when I thought I had heard it all, a newbie in the Viet Nam forum posted this:

hi all im a newbie here... wondering if anyone here can help me answer some question about my case... i filed 129F march of 2007.. My fiance got an interview on Nov but he failed. Then in april an officer in Vn give us both an phone interview.. Being un prepare that we both are we failed the phone interview answering competely opposite answers from each other... here a very complicated part about our case. when the officer ask my fiance about his email password . she went in and read and findout that 2wk before i wrote email to my finance to break up with him and he should find someone new. So now they also held that against me too. So this morning my fiance got a letter stating that our case is very complicated to make a decisions so they send it back to the US and have a consulate officer review our case and have a final decisions... does anyone know how long does it take ? what is my next step ? i want to write or call them to justified my story... people tells me i should get a lawyer and it will guranteed me within 5mos my fiance will be here but i don't know if it worth it since i know for sure before they review my case if i can write them my side of story maybe they will understand... real couple fights and get mad at each other from time to time but that doesn't mean we don't love each other or not serious in our realtionship....

Has anyone else heard of a Consular or Embassy employee asking a Beneficiary or Sponsor for their password?

If you were asked what would your response be?

I'd respond "F" off! That wasn't very nice of the consulate to do that to them.

That's ridiculous! But if you have nothing to hide I guess its fine. First time I've heard of it .

I think USCIS is immune to privacy invasion due to the backing of the department of homeland security.

I disagree, its not about just hiding, what about personal space?

My husband's and my world rely over internet, there is everything, from banking details to family matters to every day fights.

....I agree! Banking details, credit cards, e-mails to/from family members, work related e-mails..

USCIS/these consulates are stepping over that privacy line.

Oh, that's right! Well, the only thing left is to write them into the will.

I recently had a few Emails deleted, nothing important just wondering now if it was the "BIG BROTHER" snooping my account? Is there any way to find out? Nobody else has my password!! Where does the "FREEDOM" end, or maybe a better question, When does it begin??? HMMM....

if they were asking for mine, i don't mind giving it to them. nothing in it.
