  And you didn't answer my question: if you've been living abroad for many years, how did you acquire a new passport?

2. Passport Cancelled While Abroad?
  
  I live in Mexico. While I am not American, most of my friends here are. And they have been renewing their passports regularly from here...including one couple who have been living here for 30+ years. Just last month a rep from the American consulate in Guadalajara spent a day at the Lake...

3. Passport Cancelled While Abroad?
  
  So this means you owe child support and that's why your passport is being cancelled?

4. Passport Cancelled While Abroad?
  
  For decades now. And if you've been living abroad for "many years" how come your passport is new, where did you get it if not at an embassy?

7. Former Employer Claims I Owe Him $ for Mileage
  
  And before you ask, while they weren't allowed to take the pay-back from your payroll pay without your written authorization, they can certainly and legally deduct from your IC pay. Wait 'til they sue you, then you'll find this to be true.

8. Former Employer Claims I Owe Him $ for Mileage
  
  So you were overpaid mileage, and while you worked there, you were able to pay some of it back. Why would you think they wouldn't be able to demand the rest after you left?

9. Gender discrimination and Antagonizing behavior
  
  If your boss is consistently giving you low-level (and possibly demeaning) work that he is not giving to your male coworkers, and if he is making misogynist remarks in your hearing about other women in your workplace, then you should make a formal complaint to HR. When you make this complaint...

11. Videotaping manager who promised salary raise
  
  I am Canadian. While I most heartily agree that most employment laws in Canada differ from those in the US, in this particular scenario they're pretty much the same. All of the answers that you have been given here are applicable in Canada.

16. liquidative damages
  
  Are you an IC or an employee? If you're an IC, then the contract should be referring to you as such, and not as an employee. However, that's a minor issue and doesn't affect what you're asking about. If you're an IC, this clause is legal and enforceable. If you're en employee, it is legal to...

  What your employer did/is doing is perfectly legal. Ergo, you cannot "beat this" because there is nothing to beat.

  While your employer's policy is indeed discriminatory, it isn't illegally so. For a policy of this type to be illegal it would have to be based specifically and directly on protected classes such as race, gender, disability, age and/or religion. Nothing in your posts indicates that this policy...
