Title: Identity Theft: Part 2 Post by: JJ27 on March 22, 2004, 05:00:00 AM Thanks for the responses. Honestly, I think the way I explained it made it sound suspicious. Maybe I haven't been as forthcoming with information about everything in this forum, making it seem as if I'm ill-informed We now have her old passport. It took a little work to get it I've grilled her about the identity theft issue, and she honestly If we go into the interview, they are going to see a trip overseas Lets say.. for the skeptics out there, that she really doesn't know I'm going back to the PI this Friday, in order to try and get Any advice on how to straighten up this would be appreciated. Ya know, a long time ago..

JJ, I’m still a little confused about the details of your problem. How are they going to see a trip overseas 1. When you first reported your story, you said that she found out from the DFA that someone else was using her identity. I was assuming by that you meant someone else was issued another second passport in her name. Is that correct? If that is the case, that someone used her birth certificate and identification to apply for a passport without her knowledge, then the solution to your problem is very simple. The DFA keeps the passport application on file and the bogus application will have the applicants thumbprints, photo, and signature. She needs to go to the DFA and have them pull the application and get a copy of it. If she recognizes the photo on the application, then the mystery is solved. If not, she will need to get an official statement from the DFA or a police report showing that someone forged her signature and used her birth certificate to fraudulently obtain a passport in her name. If she is unable to get this documentation because the DFA or the police won’t cooperate, then perhaps she should consult with a reputable attorney and try to get legal assistance in prodding the authorities. 2. If you mean that there is only one passport and somebody else used it for a trip overseas without her knowledge, then she is in trouble with the interview. If I were conducting the visa interview, then I would have to assume that any travel documented in her passport was her doing the traveling, unless she knows that someone else used her passport. If this is the case, was a visa issued for the overseas travel? She can go to the foreign consulate where the visa was issued and have them pull the application, Most visa applications, whether for employment, tourist, student, or whatever, require at least a photo and signature. Who’s photo and signature are on the visa application? Again, a police report or official statement from a foreign consulate would be a BIG help at her interview. Please clarify the exact nature of the identity theft problem so we can better advise you. Again, I’m trying to look at this from the perspective of a wary consular official or immigration officer.
