Hi,

I am an Indian female based in US having a green card and have a 10 month son who is a US citizen. On our recent trip to India my husband and in laws took my son's US passport, my Indian passport and green card and are not giving it back making us forcibly stay here. My husband has returned to the US and we are stuck here. What can I do to get out of this mess?? What are my options????

Thanks

I believe the immigration office will give you a temp greencard if you apply and tell them you have lost both yours and your son's.

I have a friend who is an international student with a greencard in college, she lost hers, got a temp one

You can contact the US embassy in India and get a replacement of your sons passport. You will have to contact the Indian Immigation to get them to replace yours. The embassy should help you with your green card and may also help you in getting temporary back to the US.

Also you need to file a police report agaisnt those family members who have done this.

First, contact local police and report the incident, make copies of this police report.
I don't know if local police will be able to help getting your documents back, but you need police report in order to return to US and to file domestic violence if needed.

Then contact US embassy in India, report the incident and request for the so called "Transportation Letter" for you and your son.

You will need copies of the following:

• Statement explain the situation in your own words.
• Police report
• Greencard (back and front)
• Birth Certificate of your son
• Form I-90 (download from USCIS Home Page)
• Passport of you and your son's... every pages.
• Airplane tickets
• 3 Passport size photos
• Fee $290

This approval is valid for 15 days only, so this will allow you and your son to return to US. If you have problem such as your husband does not let you in the house, etc. Call the police immediately.

Sorry this happened to you... if you need advice, feel free to contact me.
