I'm an American in the Middle East.

His speaking of the immigration appointment, is a huge red alert. You might have a tough time verifying this, but your daughter may be married to him. Many Muslims marry in the Mosque.

One theory. Another scary thing going on over in this side of the world is passport forgery. It's very serious. Do read about the recent ring busted in Thailand:

The U.S. is constantly updating security due to these scammers. I would seriously consider everything Luigi mentioned and also call the F.B.I and Homeland security. You can do this without informing her of your calls if you feel she will alert him. He won't pursue her if he feels you are checking on him, or going to cause him a problem.

This is scary to me as a mother; and I would seriously give your daughter some much needed advice on giving out personal information on her family. Maybe if more parents reported these men they would stop preying on young girls online.

God be with you.
