TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I DESPERATELY NEED ALL YOUR HELP.
I'M FROM PHILIPPINES, I CAME TO CHINA LAST DEC. 2008 WITH AN L VISA. NOW MY CHINESE AGENT TOOK MY PASSPORT LAST JANUARY FOR APPLICATION OF A WORKING VISA. HE CAME TO US SAYING THAT THE VISA HAS A PROBLEM. AND HE HAS SOMEBODY TO FIX IT, NOW ITS BEEN 8 MONTHS, NO JOB AND THE AGENT KEEP SENDING US TO OTHER PLACES WHERE HE SAID IS SAFE. AND STILL THERE IS NO SIGN OF OUR PASSPORTS. HE SAID THAT WE HAVE A PERMIT TO WORK BUT OUR PASSPORTS IS STILL IN A QUESTIONABLE STATE, MEANING IT'S EITHER FIX OR IT WAS NEVER FIX AT ALL. AND NOW I KEEP ASKING MY AGENT ABOUT MY PASSPORT AND ALL HE HAS TO SAY IS "JUST WAITING".. AND HE ALSO ADDED THAT MY PASSPORT IS IN THE IMMIGRATION ALREADY. BUT UNTIL NOW THERE IS NO SIGN OF MY PASSPORT, ITS ALREADY BEEN MONTHS THAT IT IS IN THE IMMIGRATION. AND I AM REALLY WORRIED AND AFRAID AND DESPERATE. I NEED HELP ON WHAT TO DO CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO GO HOME TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE THE COPY OF THE AGENTS ID AND THE PUBLICATION OF OUR WORK CLEARANCE, WHICH WE WASN'T ABLE TO USE. AND I AM PREPARED AND WILLING TO PAY FOR WHATEVER PENALTY AND OTHER DOCUMENT FEES CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THIS AGENT HAS CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE IMMIGRATIONS AND HAVE THREATHENED TO HAVE US KILLED OR BEATEN IF WE GO AGAINST HIM OR IF WE REPORT HIM TO THE AUTHORITIES...

I AM REALLY AFRAID AND DEEPLY WORRIED TO THE POINT THAT I'M GETTING REALLY SICK BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION. PLEASE I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR ADVICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.
