You cannot physically force someone to leave the country, even when they've outrageously broken the law. You can withdraw support for them, send documentation of their actions, refuse to sign, kick them out of the house or incentivize a way back home, but you can't force them. If it were possible we'd have many fewer immigrants when awful scams like these happen.
I'm sorry for the OP and for that poor child going through all this. What an awful experience.
We all learn from are mistakes, like you expressed, I just wish that the child didn't have to go through all of this. Also, I never forced her anywhere, she was scared because she was previously married and wasn't sure what would happen if we adjusted status. I actually send in the forms for AOS and then I found out she was married to someone else. My lawyer said to cancel payment because there are no refunds and there is a good chance that they would have found out and maybe deported or worse.

I agree that they didn't meet the requirments of the visa. However, a person can't be physically forced to leave the country except foe by the authorities. I read that the ex"wife" has already left the country now, but if she hadn't there is nothing outside of documentation to USCIS/ICE and incentivizing (buying her ticket etc) he could do. So frustrating for so many people who have been scammed.
I never would force anything on someone. She was scared because she had been previously married and lied on the K1 app, so she didn't want to find out what would have happened. I am frustrated also, but I was blinded by loneliness and ignored the red flags. Now looking back there were plenty. So it is on me also, I just wish the child didn't have to suffer, that is my main concern.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Give yourself plenty of time to grieve. I spent 10 years married to an abuser at least you got out fairly quickly. I will pray for you.
Thanks!! I will give my self time and learn who I am and what I am doing incorrectly to have attracted this person. I am also from Michigan!!!

I fought for 1 and half years to bring this women and her child to the US. I sent money every month so they could eat and buy necessities. I would help this woman's child with home work over video. I spoke 2 times a day and reassured them I would bring them to the US. I truly loved and cared for these people!! After the long wait they finally arrived here in the US. I was so excited to see them and finally get to hold my family in my arms. It seemed relaxed at first until the first day of school for the child, I woke to arguing. I asked what was happening and she responded with "My daughter will soon be an alcoholic or marry one!!!" then she kept going with "I wish I had never birthed this child, she has ruined my life!!! I should have had an abortion!!!" This is were I stepped in and ask "Why would you say this where your child could hear this, that is horrible" then I asked what happened and she replied with "Her bangs are in her eye's, she looks terrible and this will hurt her eyes!!!!" That is when I realized something wasn't right. So, I felt I needed to step it up and be a super dad so this child would have some kind of sanity in her life. The daughter and I were close and she could tell I was trying to be the best father that I could be. The bond we formed was wonderful!! In the mean time the K1 wife was fighting as much as she could. So, I couldn't figure out what the problem was, then I discovered that she was married to a man in Norway!!!! I was blown away!! I asked her are you still married, because if so you lied on the Visa app. I found out that she is! That is not good!!! Needless to say she changed completely after she got here. I did see some red flags while she was in Ukraine, but I chalked it up to stress and living conditions. I visited Ukraine 2 times and never once did she mention her marriage in Norway. I even offered to help with the divorce from the man in Norway, but she was only in it for the green card. I found even more out that I will not mention, but it was enough for me to send her home. I am so devastated, I lost my family and child. I was planning on adopting the child!! Now all gone. Please be careful, this really does happen and does not feel good. If you have any questions or are concerned with your situation, please message me and I will give any information that I can. I will not look for just the negative, I am not bitter, only sad from my loss. I can't even tell you how much money I spent!!!
So just a quick update and thank you so much for some tough love and kindness. Some times you need that after something like this. The scary thing is that I did marry her, she insisted when she got to the US. I loved her so I agreed to it. Besides I was told the daughter had no father and I wanted to do the right thing and adopt her so she could feel secure and have a good dad. I have since communicated with her biological father and he is wonderful. I found a true friend with him. So the truth is she has a wonderful Ukrainian father who does care for her! We are in good communication, I want to make sure that the daughter is safe. I have broke all ties with the wife and she signed for the documents (she has been served) for voided annulment. This means that we were never married because she was already married. I did some digging and found everything needed to prove she is still married. So every thing is now looking up for me. I would be curious on how to report something like this so this doesn't happen to someone else. She did commit fraud for lying on the application by saying she was free to marry. Any feed back on how to get this to the right authorities would be helpful, maybe even to others. One last thing, please say a prayer for the wife and the daughter. People don't just act this way, something bad must have happened to make her this way and even the worst of people have some glimmer of light in them. That is maybe what I saw in her, a little glimmer of light.

Starting April 1, the Embassy will offer appointments in every immigrant visa category, including K visas and diversity visas. The number of appointments available will be extremely limited until conditions significantly improve, and it will take time to clear the backlog of immigrant visa cases. Even though appointments are now available, it does not mean you will be immediately successful in booking an appointment.
We already have a got our visa but I wanted everybody to know that yours is coming soon!! You all have my thought and prayers!!

I used the same email for everything, Ultra Docs and embassy. I am the petitioner so they are most likely to respond to me then my fiancé. Also make sure you are sending to the email address KyivIV@state.gov this is the one for K1. Best of luck I know it is very difficult, but you will soon get an interview!! 🙂

We didn't drag our feet, our lawyer would tell us that we needed to wait for a letter. I went to a townhall in August and they informed us that they would be doing limited K interviews. So we waited for letter. Then someone on VJ said not to wait just register and try to schedule it was too late we didn't see any dates in the calendar. So we missed that window and were very disappointed. I missed my fiancés Bday my daughter Bday and Christmas. So no feet dragging just a very broken system due to a pandemic. At the second townhall they hinted around that they were doing very limited appointments and the calendar is not working. They would inform applicants via email. So I sent many emails and got similar answer no K1's due to the pandemic. I didn't give up on the emails and it paid off. Nothing is easy or free I found out, I just had to keep faith and keep trying no matter the response. And POW!!!!! We got in interview!!!

I went to the Town Hall meeting and they informed us that the schedule was not working and that we should what an email from the consul. I thought this is going to be a long wait. My fiance, my daughter & I prayed very hard to get interview and finally this morning we received an email informing us that we have a date and if we accept.

The signs I ignored were, she was very short with me about anything to do with her past. I never got to meet any of her friends, she would say that they were all jealous. I was not able to post any pictures of our Ukraine trip when we were together or mention our relationship. Come to find out it was because her husband from Norway has a social media presents. She was very mean to me about just about everything, I chalked it up to where she lived and that maybe she was just nervous and under a lot of stress. When she got to the US she was absolutely awful!!! Come to find out she was trying to cause problems for me and get the green card with out me!!! I am not sure I will ever be able to do this again, I really tried to be the best guy that I could be. I was willing to adopt her child and I paid for everything. She never offered to help or ever paid for anything. Looking back now I think I was just lonely and fooled myself and made excuses for her. I would just say I got gut feelings on a lot of this and I should have listen to my intuition. Go with your gut, it usually is the truth!
