You have had over 3 months to sort this out. A few days ago you were asking if there were any Brits in Sheboygan to meet up with!
Suggest you get family/friends to fund your flight home.

I say this with all due respect, whining about the inequities of life isn't going to get you anywhere.

If you're that desperate you could get yourself deported...but you need to know the consequences first.

I have only known one person who has done this and they said they had to hassle the consulate for it to happen, it was not just a matter of asking, more insisting.

I'm sure Dean posted that in an emergency they will help but expect to be re-imbursed asap.

I think the problem is convincing them that it is an emergency and that you do not have any alternative sources. Just asking and leaving when they say 'no' does not seem to convince them.

Why on earth did you go to Sheboygan? There is no organization that can help there.
