In abusive relationships, the abuser controls the other one to such an extent that he/she can obligate the other person to do things against their free will, because the victim has basically had their free will taken away. This is accomplished through explicit or implicit threats, and I'm sure since they have a child together it wasn't much of a stretch for this woman to believe that she HAD to leave in order to protect her child or herself. This doesn't even factor in at least 3 years of emotional abuse and psychological manipulation. Furthermore, from what it sounds like, everyone except this woman knew that he was taking advantage of her and so she probably feels embarrassed and wanted to make the relationship to work so that she could avoid admitting that she'd been fooled. You can't really assess a situation unless you have been in one like it before, but it's totally within the realm of reasonable that a person could essential force another to leave a country, especially in many more reserved cultures.

Our K-1 Fiance visa was approved today in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I cannot express the relief I have. Thank you to everyone here who helped me during freak outs and panic attacks. This community is awesome.

This. Also, if you petition again soon, mention this prior petition.From a personal standpoint, she has just saved you a LOT of time and heartache. Consider even briefly the misery (at minimum) or agony (probable) that your life would contain had she gone through with this half-heartedly.
If she's "not ready" for marriage, consider that mutual readiness is perhaps the chief factor of meeting someone with whom to form a lasting relationship. Readiness DEFINES compatibility.
As I review my relationship history, I thank heaven that the previous instances did NOT result in a falsely manufactured coupling.
Look forward, not back, and keep the faith, si man.
