US Embassy Visa Shennanigins ... again

OK - here we go again :)

I telephoned the US Embassy visa operator to try to sort out a visa appointment as Maria Damour and the visa section at the US Embassy in London have not responded to requests for me to get a visa interview appointment (the first step in getting a visa).

At £1.20 a minute (that's about $2.50 a minute for US readers) I was on the telephone for about 20 minutes trying to sort out an appointment - the visa operator finally came back with- you need to email the US Embassy with this so here it is (for a 3rd time):

Dear Ms Damour:

I have spoken with the US Embassy visa appointment line and have been advised to contact you again.

This is the third such email I have sent to the US Embassy in accordance with instructions of the visa operator - I have received no replies from the first two.

I have been advised that I cannot proceed with obtaining a visa appointment without emailing you in respect of the following:

1. I am applying to British police for a Subject Access Statement as instructed by the operator:
2. I was refused a visa in September 2006 by the US Embassy London:
A. for court ordered access to minor child on the grounds I have harassed the US citizen mother of my minor child in the US (despite the findings of the US court that I have not done so and court orders repeatedly provided to you and the US Embassy); and
B. for attendance and prosecution of court proceedings in Volusia County Florida in connection with minor child on the grounds I am attempting to emigrate to the United States.

The visa operator advises me that the US Embassy needs to provide me with the visa refusal codes before they can offer an appointment date; and

3. That given my arrest by US Immigration in Florida on 28th May 2004 I must provide a sworn statement from an entity you must specify in the United States in a form you will specify as to the circumstances of that arrest. I have appended a copy of the US immigration arrest report of the arresting officer Wayne Baehre and a fax to US Immigration by Barbara Greig of the State Department, which demonstrates my arrest was predicated on information provided by Barbara J Greig, Office of Childrens Issues, Department of State, Washington DC.

I understand you require the following:

Name: Karl Ernest Hindle
Nationality: British
Passport Number: 305478269
Email address : Karlhindle@ol.com

Karl Hindle
5 Berwick Cottages

I live in the United States where I am a citizen. I am ashamed of the individuals who are using their power in U.S. Government to restrtict Karl from entering the U.S. to go to court. I urge someone honest out there to assist Karl Hindle in attaining the Visa and having his fair day in court.

For those of you who have the power to help, remember that you would want someone to give you the right to go to court if your child or grandchild were in another country.

Why should foreigners have fewer human rights when visiting the United States? Be ethical and honor this father's human rights.
