📨 SWANK Dispatch: My Immigration Interview Was About My Husband. I’m the Applicant.

“You asked for my husband’s deportation records from the USA
as part of my immigration case in the Turks and Caicos.
That’s not a process. That’s a deflection.”
— A Mother Who Applied for Residency and Got Gaslighted Instead
This letter from Polly Chromatic to William L. Mills, Director of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a formal redirection of communications to her legal representative, alongside a statement of procedural abuse.
She makes clear:
She has complied fully throughout the immigration process
She was treated as secondary to her husband in her own interview
She was told to submit her husband’s U.S. deportation records, which have no legal bearing on her case in TCI
The request led to a breakdown of trust in both the process and personnel involved
🧑⚖️ I. Her New Legal Boundary
All future correspondence is now to go to:
George Missick
Georgins Attorneys at Law
Because when the process stops being lawful,
it becomes a legal matter.
📌 II. SWANK Commentary
This isn’t about a form.
It’s about who the state recognises as the applicant
— and who it tries to disappear behind their partner’s name.
The more you ignore her,
the louder she will file.
