Were you able to confirm that she actually got on the airplane?

That's what I was thinking...hopefully she didn't just take the $1500 and the Uber to a motel.

No she went home.  Her boyfriend was picking her up, which I know for a fact.  Don't ask me how I know hehehe. I feel I wanted so much time and energy. Didn't make a wise choice.   My mom died on Aug 22, so I feel really lonely now.  Bad timing

My condolences for your loss.

 

Yes, your fiance turned out to be a waste of time, in a sense---but far less a waste of time and energy (and added expense) had you have married and found out all of this after the fact.  Take that, at least, as the silver lining.

Condolences for your loss.  Whether it's sudden or long-expected, it's never easy.  May you be comforted among all who mourn.

 

I echo Going Through's observation:  count your blessings, because she saved you a lot of time and further headaches.  And SilverMonk is also 100% correct.  You wouldn't want someone/something like that holding her status over your head for many years, if not in perpetuity.

 

Added to this is no VAWA claim.  Yes, you're in far finer shape than most, so take comfort in that.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Exactly, I'm very thankful.

After work I showed up home about an hour before her driver came and things were very civil between us.   I even joked around with her.   Hey child stared at me and looked very sad.   I think a lot of things were said in our heated exchange that she apologized for.   Her driver showed up, I helped to load the vehicle and we ended up hugging.   She cried and I cried just because it was a very long journey that finally came to an end.  The child hugged me very tight and I kissed her on the cheek.   The driver was on a smoking break and then they drove off.   I will need a big break after this up and down relationship

Change the locks.  If you can't confirm she got on a plane, make sure you're covered.

I have her key and I know she is home now.    I have blocked her on all social media.   I'm relieved that this is over.   I will be way more careful next time with who I chose to be with.   The signs were all there, but I ignored.

Good to hear, and good for you.

You sound like your head is screwed on straight, and I have confidence that you'll ultimately be fine. :thumbs:

Love is blind, as they say.  Don't be too hard on yourself---the main thing is that you didn't ignore the most recent signs, dealt with it in a mature manner, and got yourself out of a bad situation that had the potential to become much worse.

I will never forget her child though.  The look on her face that evening they were leaving was really sad.  She couldn't stop staring at me and kept calling me Daddy as the Uber driver away.

Certainly that will be a vision which will haunt you for a while.

The blame for the daughter's condition should be placed squarely on the shoulders of her mother, though...she obviously never considered the possibility and impact all of this might have had on her child being shuttled from one country to the next (and back again)---and from one man to another (and back again)---- once her own deceit came to light.  Try to break yourself away from any guilty feelings you may have over making the decision to look out for your best interests, where her child is concerned.

 

It goes without saying to take a break for yourself at this time, and look forward towards another relationship when your emotions are balanced out. 

I wish you the best of luck.
