Try and find this man while you are here and try to reconcile. I can imagine you don’t want to live in a different country to the father of your child. Try reconcile with this man and ask him to be reasonable with the situation (both of you) created! 

 

It will be difficult for you to claim child support from a different country. I am guessing you hopped on the flight because you thought there was still hope. Give it a good shot atleast so when you fly back to your home country you know you tired and that one day you can tell your child you tried your best when you have to explain this situation in the years to come.  

I agree, but if he has essentially gone off the grid and is not responding or contacting her, this could potentially get her into trouble.  It’s unfortunate as he should be taking responsibility for the baby and for her, since he completed the petition process.  

 

It’s one of the scariest pitfalls of the K1 is the intending immigrant leaves their job, home, and life for the US and is wholly dependent on the USC marrying them and filing for adjustment, which, they can change their mind at any time, leaving that person stranded in an unfamiliar country trying to go back home and pick up the pieces.  Unusual?  Hopefully, but I’ve read a few stories on here.  (One where the USC decided he was scared of divorce and losing his assets so didn’t want to marry and file the affidavit of support, but wanted to keep his foreign fiancée here.  Like, give me a break.)

Yes, agree, it puts the person immigrating in an even more vulnerable position. Hard enough with K1 not being able to do anything or have any entitlements when you arrive here too!

Sounds like the OP decided to leave their life after the breakup, planning to stay with the "adoptive parents" (still unclear what that means here).

Agree.  In reality, a K-1 holder is only a visitor until he/she has married the petitioner and filed the I-485.

Well. It seems OP has been back on VJ but has not commented further for clarification.  So nobody really knows what the real story is and we are all just speculating.  Quite a bit of strangeness in this entire scenario.

Is the OP coming back? I need an update. Maybe she already returned home.

I just have a question in my mind. In this case, assume the guy is the father and he is a US citizen and he stayed in the US for 5 years, 2 of which under the age of 14 or whatever the requirements now are, does the baby qualify for CRBA? I can see that the problem is getting the required papers from the father to apply for CRBA (his birth certificate or passport and what not). Can he be sued and be obligated legally to provide those paperwork in order for the kid to be a US citizen, even if the kid will be born outside the US?

It would be possible, now how practical I do not know. If there was enough for a Private Detective, Lawyer, could be done.

~~Thread reopened. Please stick to answering the OP's question and only the OP's questions. Two post have been removed as they are Off Topic to the OP's question.~~

OP are you trying to get your child adopted? Is the child the us fiancés or is it someone else’s? If it’s someone else’s once he found out he stopped contacting you but you still wanted to go through with the adoption so you came anyway? 

 

Is the adoption for you? Adult adoption will not allow you to immigrate to the US.

 

Basically you cannot sue him for braking off the engagement, you cannot enforce the fiancé visa affidavit of support, if you can prove the child is his once it is born then you can apply for child support but this is not equal to supporting you. Fiancé visa holders can only stay if they marry and file for adjustment of status.

Hi I just want to ask how I'm going to deal with my situation right now, my fiance stopped contacting me days before my expected flight. But I still got in my flight to USA because I have a ticket already. I'm staying with my soon to be adoptive parents, and they're also Americans. My fiance never bothered contacting me again which is really strange. Although he told my adoptive parents here that he doesn't want to be part of it anymore and his mom wants to void my Visa. I kind of read some part of Affidavit of Support that he/she can be sued if I become a public charge when I finally get in the USA. My parents here are planning to file a report against him for abandoning me, and for getting me pregnant. Do I have rights to do that?

You knew the relationship was over before you went here. Sadly the only thing you can do is return home. Sorry this happened to you and I hope everything works out as well as it can.

That's like what you say at Radioshack when you're buying batteries and they want your personal information. I'd be like, "That was really strange...."

Unbelievably, something similar happened to my former co-worker, though both parties were American. His fiancee of almost a year ghosted him. They got engaged and made plans for her to relocate from San Antonio to LA. He gave notice on his apartment and started looking for a job with better benefits -- even told us he was doing this! Then she said she was going to do some seasonal work at a summer camp in the woods of Washington State where there was poor cell coverage... and he never heard from her again. Poor guy. He was able to stay in his apartment but we had already hired his replacement so he had to find a new job. Amazing.

We do not know where the OP is from, might be a case there, used to be in the UK but that was a loooong time ago.

True. The advice ITT is relative to US laws, but says nothing on their home country's laws.

Although the applicability of any such laws when residing abroad is a huge issue, as is any sort of enforcement even if they did return abroad.
