A friend of mine was being harassed by a party in a southeast asian, being coerced by citizen of SE asian country to do a K-1 visa, to sponsor that citizen of that se asian country for a US visa. Friend was threatened by party, so confidentially went and spoke directly to officials at US embassy there in that country. Reported being threatened. Embassy representative prescribed specific strategy to my friend. On that advice friend went along with party, and told not to reveal interview or visit to embassy. Embassy promised confidentiality for friend, a US citizen. Friend said embassy was out of real concern for friend's safety, were negtive interview to be revealed as cause for visa denial. I warned friend not to trust embassy. Friend insisted embassy reps were above board. Friend said that embassy assurred confidentiality, and respected friend's need for safety. Embassy suggested strategy, that they would deny the party a visa, but not after friend was safe back in the USA. Friend returned to USA, contacted next day by telephone from SE asia, was Bridgeway. Bridgeway who represented application for k-1 revealed to friend over unsolicited international phone call, that they had full copy of noted made by embassy official about confidential interview. Friend said Bridgeway staff actually read from actual notes of that confidential interview. Friend refused to comply and recant statements. Bridgeway said friend "would not be safe in US. Bridgeway rep specifically threatened friend that through other offices based in USA in New York, Bridgeway and SE asian client would file a complaint against friend for misrepresenting k-1 visa to cis, and would also file personal lawsuit directly personally to friend as well along with criminal accusation of physical abuse against SE asian client. I know friend. Friend is not abusive person. Very respectful person. Bridgeway told friend that personal lawsuit would be served directly to friend's official home address in USA, that complaint would come from New York office, not SE asia; But all would be forgotten if friend complied, returned to asia and recanted statements made against coerced sponsorship. Friend went back to asia and recanted statements for safety from legal harassment and threatened false accusations. read more
