REPutation 83 Posted December 9, 2012 A while back before DACA was even out the shadows, Homeland security confiscated my passport. Saying that once my legal statues was determined, then I will be able to request for my passport. I went back to the same building almost 2 months ago, and they said they dont have it. WHAT DO I DO??? ps. I need my passport so I can use it to get SS this coming week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted December 9, 2012 i've never heard of DHS taking one's passport before. what did you go there for? do you have a receipt or confirmation letter or anything like that? i would call the DHS and ask what needs to be done in order to 1.) determine where your passport is and 2.) what needs to be done in order to get it back. that's all i can think of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rawf 336 Posted December 10, 2012 That's a first to me! O_O If you're from central america, then you will get a new passport fast. That's the only solution, unless you go into the stressful way and start calling until someone finds your passport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read they do that all the time. And don't even keep track of it. Well I want my passport back! It's mine lol. But before that, I was on what the USA called "Deferred action" meaning I could be in the USA but without rights of citzenship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
