Hello,
I am a volunteer for a Welcome initiative near Cologne. I would like to ask a question in the name of a friend from Albania. He want to go back on his own wish, that is what he already communicated at his 1st interview in June. He also has the confirmation for that. Last week he was invited by the loacal "Ausländerbehörde" and they treated him very bad there. Unfortunaley, his passport is lost. He gave it away at the first initial registration facility in Neumünster. The "Ausländerbehörde" told him that the passport might be at the albanian embassy in Germany or in Albania but this is not their problem anymore.....they forced him to sign a document (Laissez-Passer) and if not, they will deport him. Unfortunately they were not very nice to him and also screamed to him. His problem is, that he of course want to travel home by his own wish but not without his passport. He didn't lost it! What can he do and do they have the right to deport him?
