Afghan Hero who was Granted a Visa now is in Jeopardy of losing it

Two weeks ago I posted the good news that Janis Shinwary had finally been granted a Visa for himself and his family...NOW THIS CRAP from the State Department:
The Afghan interpreter who finally received a visa for a new life in the U.S.could have it revoked after only two weeks -- and has gone into hiding amid fears he and his family have become targets of the Taliban. 
Janis Shinwary already had quit his job as a translator for the U.S. military stationed in Afghanistan and sold all of his family’s possessions in anticipation for moving stateside. But the process to obtain the visa, which already put him and his loved ones in harm’s way, has apparently stalled with no explanation from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
“If you are getting a visa, you are expecting a new life,” Shinwary said to FoxNews.com via phone from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan. “I started to sell everything we owned–even my kids’ toys.” 
Shinwary says that he received word from the embassy last week that there was an issue with his visa that was holding up the process -- but when he inquired, he could not get clarification. 
[...] 
"After the State Department issued him his visas, he did what anyone in his situation would do -- what I would do too -- he sold his house, his possessions, and quit his job because he was told he was on his way to his new life in America," Zeller said to FoxNews.com. "Now, he literally has nothing but the promise our nation made to bring him and his family to the US for his near decade of faithful, honorable, and heroic service to the US military. Apparently, the State Department feels its perfectly routine and justified to break that promise." 
Shinwary still hopes to be relocated to Arlington Virginia near Zeller and hopes to become a translator in Washington, D.C. 
“I would try to find the same job, but I would do any sort of work to support my family.”

You really begin to wonder just how damn evil the Obama administration really is.
