JUDYTH RESPONDS TO BARB ABOUT SEEKING ASYLUM
Barb asks the question about my applying for political asylum but never expecting a 'positive':
Then why did she apply for it? And when it was denied, why did she then appeal that decision?
1) I was advised to leave Hungary after a death threat
2) I was advised not to return to the US because I would be locatable through airline tickets, etc.
and the death threat applied there as well. This was a second warning given to me, AFTER I had
purchased the expensive tickets to the US--and then my hotel room was broken into and almost
everything I owned was taken. The entry into my hotel room was violent and frightened everybody.
There was no attempt at stealth.
3) I was advised to seek political asylum and to explain my problems, even though I could never be
given a final permission to stay.
4) I was assured I would not be deported back to Hungary by Sweden (which was my concern, as
they were Schengen countries).
5) I was to ask for enough time for my family to arrange safe havens for me overseas
6) I was assigned for deportation soon after arriving. By filing an appeal, the deportation order was
inhibited, an unusual action. I was given directions on how to obtain the inhibition.
7) I was thus able to stay for over ten months and was given all the time I needed.

NOTE: The name "Schengen" originates from a small town in Luxembourg. In June 1985, seven European Union countries signed a treaty to end internal border checkpoints and controls. More countries have joined the treaty over the past years. At present, there are 15 Schengen countries, all in Europe.
The 15 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members.
Traveling in Europe has been simplified with the introduction of the Schengen visa. As a visitor to the Schengen area, you will enjoy the many advantages of this unified visa system. Download the SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATION and apply today.
With a Schengen visa, you may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen zone. Internal border controls have disappeared; there are no or few stops and checks. This means that internal air, road and train travel are handled as domestic trips, similar to travel from one US state to another. Those who traveled in Europe before Schengen know the difference.
