Q: Immigrating to the u.s from France with a twist
I'm planning to move to the u.s permanently and I have a backstory
When i was 7 my father and i immigrated to the u.s.a after my moms death from france where he married a woman who later adopted me
I believe i went out with either an IR4/IR3 or an IH4/IH3 visa
2 years later my adoptive mother filed for divorce and i was under temporary custody with her then i was allowed to spend the holidays with my father where he abducted me and took me to another country Algeria
I've been forcefully there for 8 years now (im 18) i have tried to contact my stepmother but havent gotten any response yet.
The u.s embassy here cannot help me as Algeria is not a member in the hague international abduction party
I have a french citizenship and an algerian too.
I was also months away from getting my u.s citizenship before my abduction
i was a resident with my adoptive mother for 2 years and given an adoption type visa
What should i do?
I can give more details but theres a cap word limit
