Filipino fiancee never arrived and is missing

[msu17 0]

My gut instinct is you have unfortunately been scammed. However, keep in mind that Michigan/Ohio areas are hotbeds for human trafficing. It is possible that she did get herself into something, though it would have been pre-arranged since why else would she leave the airport. Can you contact DTW and see if they have any tapes etc? I think that would be the next step to take.

I did not read all the posts, but I'm assuming you:

1) Called the airlines to verify that she was on the flight in question.

2) Called the airport to ask if they have surveillance in relation to her flight.

3) Called the police to discuss your options.

4) Called USCIS to discuss your options....

There's not much else you can do though, unless she appears out of nowhere...

But generally, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I would be frantic and heartbroken if that were me

Regards,

Troll. Stop feeding it.

Exactly. I already PM'd the person offering help since my wife's from Cebu but got no response. This troll is taking everyone for a ride.

I have E-mailed you back this not a load of ## I am trying to keep my life together, get ready for work, make the daily calls to find out if anything is new on the case. I am sorry I could not try to read all the post do what I have to do, and reply to you in what you consider a timly manner. I am a little dazed and confused. If you have ever had to deal with a missing persons maybe you would understand I am doing the best I can to help them, help me, and stay afloat.

So, did you phone her family? Find out what they know?

I have to leave for work and it will be 10 hours before I can even post another reply so please do not bash me if I can not respond. Yes I am frantic, but I am trying really hard to keep it together. I do not have her parents number if you read the post I have already said that. Why would someone make up a story like this? I do not understand the enjoyment anyone could get, but I guess it does happen. I am real, alive, and hurt. Thanks, to all that can understand that.

why on earth would u be worried about if u can apply for a k1 visa again in the future? i still fail to understand why people would go look for a foreign spouse on purpose. i would never do that. it's extremely difficult to engage in a relationship with someone from another country, it happened to me, i don't regret a second, but i'd never on purpose do that.

go to a bar, start dating, forget about her, move on.

He's tasted Pinay! He can't help himself! He's hooked!

He PM'd me and it's probably best not say anymore until he's back and can provide more info.

Tell him to give you information about the police report to the extent that you can call someone to verify.... or tell him to send it to me and I'll verify.

He is a load of...............

So lemme get this straight. You did not meet your fiance, a woman who is from another culture and country who has never been in the US, at the airport because you wanted to test her and see if she really loved you? If I was her and my fiance didn't have the courtesy to meet me at the airport after flying all over the world and giving up my life, my family to be with him I would have exited stage left as well. Maybe she called you to see if she could tell that YOU really loved HER and when you didn't pass her test she bailed?

No, the poster wrote in the first post that she made it through customs in Detroit, but never rechecked her bags and never got on the connecting flight. So he was not testing her, she had to take another plane to get to where he lived.

[doodlebugg 10]

Then what did this mean?

have always given a person every chance to leave and get out, and she was very intelligent so I know if I did not meet her at the landing airport she still had everything that she would need to make to me. I would have done that for anyone I have ever dated, and it always ends up the same. I believe that everyone should have the last minute of choice, but this one has cost me time, money, paperwork, and maybe even a chance to try again in the future. I hope I do not come off wrong, I am worried, but all signs point to the fool and the mistake. Thank you for reading my post. Thank you for taking the time, and thank you for any ideas that might help.

I do agree but as far as knowing and getting there early that sounds more like I am not giving you a choice. To life is all about choice and I gave her that last one.

Thanks for reading, and just make sure if you are going through with a K Visa you are sure and give them the choices they need.

What type of K Visa? K1, K2, K3, K4? Please be specific. If she is K1 Visa then don't worry about her.

You can publish her on TV as MISSING.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. Give me advice or suggestions or tell me if this story of any kind that they have heard of before, or even where I might post something like this.

I will start by saying that I have used this site for information, searching and curiosity. I know there are people here that might be able to at least help me have more piece of mind as to what has happened. I have done research, understand, and also understand the Philippines are not always the easiest place to live. Her location at the time was Cebu, but she was from Zamboanga where her parents still lived or so I was told, and Catholic.

This is my story.

I have known my fiancée for a year and half. We had completed our paper work. She made it to the Detroit airport, made it through customs, and then never rechecked her bags. I now honestly think that she is gone, and has left to whatever destination that she had planned, but I am still praying she is alive and ok.

The story so far. I knew her well, or at least thought I did. We talked on the phone for the last year several times a day (10 to 20 minutes a day) plus e-mails. We are only 9 years apart in age and she is 25, so there is not a big age difference. In our conversations there might have been 3 occasions that I felt something was not right, but being so far apart, and for different cultures I wrote that off as just me, differences, or just me maybe getting cold feet. She never slipped up or changed her story (this is the part that is hard since I listen for thing like that). She was not suppose to have friends or family here, and had never been to the states.

She was confirmed to have arrived at Detroit, but then never rechecked her baggage for the connecting flight. Once she arrived, she called me as planned, she seemed upset, talked for a few minutes, never said goodbye and we got disconnected. The number appeared to be from an abandon apartment that no has lived at for over a year, but yet the number was still working, and it was off airport grounds. Why did she call? She was out, and free so I do not understand that part either which leads me to think how deep or conceived a plan it was.

I have filed a missing persons report, and talked to all the correct agencies that I need to as far as I know (I do not want to spell that out), and doing what I need to do to protect myself and my future.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? If it was a scam it was very well though out, and planned, and I do come from the streets so to say so I know a scam when one has happened or being used. Maybe some of this is just to vent and get my story out there, but that does not change that I am scared, upset, worried (for her and myself) and confused.

Since I was her sponsor could she just marry someone else? Is this something that really happens to people or is a strange kind of luck? We seemed to have so much in common, and it was not me saying oh I like this and her agreeing. I would find out what she liked, and then if say it was the same kind of show or book, be like wow me too.

I have always given a person every chance to leave and get out, and she was very intelligent so I know if I did not meet her at the landing airport she still had everything that she would need to make to me. I would have done that for anyone I have ever dated, and it always ends up the same. I believe that everyone should have the last minute of choice, but this one has cost me time, money, paperwork, and maybe even a chance to try again in the future. I hope I do not come off wrong, I am worried, but all signs point to the fool and the mistake. Thank you for reading my post. Thank you for taking the time, and thank you for any ideas that might help.

I am not sure what else I can do. They say there is not much that can really be done. Maybe I should just list a set of questions and see what people have to say.

1) Is this something that anyone has heard of before?

2) Could she marry someone since I was her sponsor?

3) Am I still responsible for her since I have contacted all the agencies?

4) What agencies should I have contacted? (To confirm that I have done all I could do)

5) What does this do for my chances in the future if I ever try something like this again?

6) Can you file a prenuptial agreement before you are married on a K visa? (This is for future reference)

7) Where might I find more information on what I should do?

I have not given up on the idea as a whole, but I am at a loss of words, and feel if I ever do this again I need to make sure that I am protected. As for Anne, I pray, feel remorse, and hope she is ok. My dreams and ambitions have died more than I ever though possible since I decided to give that last open door. I hope I will at some point forgive myself and her for everything that has happened.

Thanks for reading, and just make sure if you are going through with a K Visa you are sure and give them the choices they need.

File a police report then publish her on TV.
