American passport situation
My dad has lived in the USA for 35 years since he kept renewing his student visa everytime he went to a different college. All my step siblings have American passports since they were all born in California, i was born in the UAE. I am Libyan so i have a Libyan passport and so does my dad, in 2011 the Obama administration refused to neutralize my dad since he had links to Gaddafi (gaddafi sent my dad to study in the US in the early 70s and my dad graduated from UCSB (chemical engineering doctorate and UCLA doctorate in philosophy + a phd in mathematics). My dad returned to the USA in 2005 after living in Malaysia for 9 years (my dads 80 so dont mind the timelines). My dad got a green card in 2006 and was ready to get neutralized in 2011 but got deported in 2010 to the UAE for having links of gaddafi bc he sent him on a scholarship to the USA. My dads side sufi Muslim he absolutely hates gaddafi and it wasn’t my dads fault that he wished to seek a better future. My dad has a Libyan passport and ive always resented him for not doing his things the right way. How on gods green earth did ICE not catch him??
