My fiance's in serious trouble and has to leave her country

[Jon York 156]

My fiance (beneficiary) is in serious trouble in her country. Her life is being threatened. We are seeing if we can get her out soon and moved to another country. If we can, I wanted to know if it would be possible to get her interview scheduled for the embassy in the new country. We've received NOA1 but haven't received NOA2 yet.

Yes, if she gets long-term residence in another country. What happened?

She can interview in any country she is legally residing in but it has to be more than a tourist in the country

Thanks for the info Harpa. I don't want to go into too much detail publicly. But basically she's a Christian living in a Muslim country. And someone who has been a trusted family friend has turned on them and is very angry and is making very serious threats about killing her and her sister. They've had to flee their home because he knows where they live. And they're staying with other people right now. It's a very serious and dangerous situation and their lives are very much at risk.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Jon. Glad she is safe for now. Hope you can sort her out in another town or another country. Best of luck.

Has she reported this to the police?

[Jon York 156]

Thanks so much Harpa.

[Jon York 156]

Janetusman, yes they reported it to the police. And it went to court. The court ruled in their favor (a happy surprise since they're Christians and he's a Muslim). But afterwards that's when he got seriously angry and has been threatening them. If they want to report that to the police they have to pay more money which they're kind of out of at this point. And he can easily point to a few things to say that under Pakistani law he is in the right. So in the end there's not really much they can do now.

I suppose my concern is if they don't have money for a police report, (do they really have to pay to make a report there?) how are they going to cover the costs of moving and getting residency in another country?

[janetusman 33]

That is very sad, if she has proof you can file for a hardship waiver.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Send her money for police bribes.

I'm sorry to hear that. I am not an expert about asylum, but can she go or you trying to reach out the US embassy in Islamabad and explaining about her situation? I believe there is also humanitarian organization to help people who are in danger practicing their religions.

Gotta agree here. How would she afford to move to a new town/country if she cant pay a police report fee?

This is not a circumstance for a waiver. Waivers are used to prove how the petitioner would be "harmed" by staying in the US without the beneficiary, and can only be filed AFTER a visa has been denied. Read up on waivers here and how and why they are used.

You can try filing for expedited processing - provide the details and the proof
