If you file of claim of fraud against him, you are going to be exposing yourself to a lot of risk if he starts lying in his defense. From the information in your post, it could be that he just changes his mind a lot, and he could potentially dig up or even fabricate some communication that casts you as being to blame for that. The best thing is to get him into a position where he abandons his green card and agrees to a divorce. If you feel that you have iron-clad documentation, then see a lawyer about suing for fraud.

This is an interesting article citing a lot of precedents: http://www.i-864.net/suing-on-the-i864-affidavit-of-support My point was that when one side starts bringing serious accusations, you can expect that the other side might well respond.
 
Here is another set of cases where an accusations of immigration fraud were met with counter-claims of abuse or smear campaigns.

In a lot of these cases, it seems that the hopeful immigrants are putting forward a lot of money to make the transaction happen, so apparently they are not always impoverished.

My wife traveled from Manila to the US with a stop in Narita back in September with no quarantine. I have seen plenty of other people say they have done the same since then. Back then the information was also confusing, but I contacted the airline to confirm.

Even meeting in person is no guarantee that someone won't later ghost you, which is what a disappearing profile is. If you can't find her using a different, non-blocked, account, then her account was a burner account that she used to keep you as a backup. Take this as an opportunity to learn how to manage your expectations.

Sounds like you were much more into her than she was into you. I know it's hard not to take it personally, but it happens to all of us.
 
The right partner will make time for you and give you the same priority that you give them. 

If its meant to be, she will find you for sure.  I think the advice you have received in this thread, especially page 2, is spot on.  
 
In my earlier days, especially in the 2005-2012 range, I was dating and meeting a number of girls.  During that period there were a few that I liked and would have considered something more serious.  However I remember meeting one of them over a weekend and when the next weekend came, she was already in Australia posting pictures of her wedding.   Another one came to me and said she had just received her visa to Germany and was going to be with her husband.   This was after a few months of "dating" her.  Ive got a ton of other stories but those few stand out.  The advice about knowing when you have found one locking onto you like a cruise missile is so true.  At times you may wish for a satellite malfunction.   
 
Only advice I would add is move off of Snapchat and switch to Whatsapp or Messenger.  

Wow thanks for the update.  We were looking at the different locations in the Philippines and everything was showing red last week except Tuguegarao.  Baguio had shown some green but then that changed to red the same day.  I guess it has to be monitored daily.  Cubao would have been great   We are only a few miles from there, however its a race to beat the Feb 22 date of the expiring medical.  Just for the van, swab test, and quarantine hotel for 1-2 nights is around 12-13K pesos.   
 
We went to Calamba to get a bag and her things 2 days after the visa came.  We ended up taking a bus up to Alabang as traffic was so horrific due to the problems with the RFID, in fact it was a traffic jam from Calamba all the way to Edsa.  Grab was going to be over 3000p so I thought best to just get a bus, eat in Alabang, and then continue.  When getting off the bus she left her small bag on the seat and since we were in the 2nd to last row of the bus, the people behind us must have seen it and taken it.  We tried to find them with the help of security but it was too late.  I was pretty speechless for a day or two and quite angry on why in the world would we bring a passport to Calamba, I didnt even bring mine when we went.  Anyway, it doesnt help to focus on what has happened, but what needs to be done going forward.  I get too angry thinking about all of it.  
 
I have not told the Embassy yet as I want to have a clear plan in place for them so they can hopefully issue asap.  I dont want to tell them and give them a bunch of what ifs.  I just got a text that my fiance has successfully applied for her new passport in Tuguegarao and should have it around January 22 or 23rd which only gives us a month until her medical will expire.  She has not done the CFO yet, but will schedule that tomorrow as she can do that without the passport (we confirmed this already).  Once that is scheduled and done (in the next week or so) I will then write the embassy, send the police report and affidavit of loss strictly as proof of what happened and then give them a set timeline that I can meet and just need their help to re-issue the visa ASAP if possible.  We were granted an expedite interview based on my son not being in school and now that the country has extended no in-class learning for all of 2021, I will tell them I would appreciate getting this visa so we can make a flight before the 22nd of Feb.  
 
Ill also ask them if I have to update (or submit) a new DS-160 with the new passport number or if they will do that themselves.  
 
Thanks again for the update on locations.  Ill do a write-up in a week or so on this whole process we have gone through, also ways to get around some provinces quarantine periods and also contact info on vans, etc in Manila that are doing special runs to the north.
 
Im due back to the US January 15th but not sure if Ill extend or not.  The visa I have expires on Jan 30th but I was told at immigration at the airport its extendable.  
 
 

Since we're touching on the subject, here is another article specifically addressing taxes:

As always, best to consult a licensed tax professional / fiduciary investment adviser before making any big decisions.

It really depends on the specifics your relationship with your fiance. In my case, we waited several years and made a lot of sacrifices for a variety of reasons. My fiance had her embassy interview just a couple days before the shutdown, and after a few months of more delays, we finally got married. I'm very happy with our new life together. 
 
It seems like the Philippines did a poor job of lining up a vaccine supply, but they are already talking about vaccine passports. If I was still in your situation, I would take that as enough encouragement to focus on deepening the LDR and keeping busy, as I am sure you have been doing already.

The OP mentions not getting sex when asking for it. I can certainly see where such a request could seem an unromantic way to get things started and so would yield poor results. I would highly recommend marital counseling. The relationship probably started out under serious time constraints because of the K-1, and perhaps the usual ways of developing unspoken signals for when both partners are in the mood did not take place. I would agree that an immigration forum is where people who have been through that unique circumstance could easily be found, but it sounds like the OP perhaps lacks extensive experience in such matters, and so a much more personalized setting is needed.

There is no time limit by which you have to file the I-485, but there are many reasons to not put it off too long.
