MY K1 WIFE LEFT ME! HELP

[thongd4me 69]

There are two issues here. One is that she arrived on a K1 visa and she can not adjust status with anyone other than you. She would have to leave the country and start out all over again. The second is custody/visitation of a child. If she has taken the child and you don't know where the child is you call the police to report a parental kidnapping. If you know her address you go to the local court and file for an emergency child protective order. If you feel she used you for a green card then report her to ICE

Good advice. The State Department also has info about international child abduction.

State Department

If you are a permanent resident you should have the same protection that a USC has against international child abduction.

No matter that you are a Pakistani national.

She has the same parental rights to the child as you do. You need to have a judge determine that outcome ie custody. In terms of the K1 as others have said, that is a one time entry visa with clear guidelines: to marry only that person (you) and do so within 90 days. If you don't marry, and cannot marry someone else on that visa, she must leave the country. Then there is the issue of the child and again you'll need legal advise and a court judge to determine the outcome. Her legality or illegality really has no bearing on her having the right to her child. But you also have rights as the child's father.

Good luck, See legal advise.

Yes and first among those rights is to know where the child is and to have access to the child.

The faster you act the better. Luckily the child is at her friends house and you know the child is there. I would first go or call your state family court or even your local child protection services. The only concern is when services are contacted is she might start to make up stories against you endangering her and your child. Protect yourself. I wouldn't go over to the friends house even though you know the child is there. Even if you call the police to appear, they do not want to get involved unless you have a court order from state family courts of the sitiuation (ie. visitation,custody).

Call the state department ASAP and request them to place a flag on your child's passport. This will prevent your wife from leaving (atleast with the child) should she decide to.

You need to call them ASAP.
