Cuz it takes like a few weeks to process and get your passport and documents back...

If the government wanted to, theoretically, they could "accidentally lose" the documents...

Has something changed in your home country in the time since you left? I guess so if you want their passport?

    if i was in their shoes and had the choice between -

    1. no passport, can't leave anywhere in a normal way

    2. a passport that is incorrect, can't move comfortably because details that don't match can and will trigger alarms and put eyes on you

    3. a passport from a place that isn't ideal, but matches my details, and allows me to travel without drawing attention to myself

    i'd pick 3 as well regardless if i liked my country of origin or not
