I think you misunderstood my post.
 
There are people here on VJ saying that you cannot enter the US on a CR1/IR1 or K1 if your USC/Pet is not *physically* in the US.
I'm asking why is this rule is as such, and you're saying one can enter on an immigrant visa regardless of where the USC/Pet is. Now do you see how this adds to my confusion? Maybe someone here knows the answer?
 
My post wasn't about entering the US on a tourist visa, so, kindly, read it again. Thanks.

It is a family reunification visa, of course, and I appreciate your rhetorical question! 
I don't see the harm in trying to understand the thought process that USCIS/lawmakers had when they created this rule, Cathi😁 Have a lovely day!

On a lighter note over the years Pakistan has ranked #1 in Best Threads Ever

And how on Earth is this related to the OP?  He has a 29 year difference.

Perhaps its the language barrier and what he is trying to say is getting lost in translation. Many American women in their 50s look amazing and dont look their age as plastic surgery and cosmetic enhancements are very popular compared to Pakistani women who I am sure dont have that access and its not as acceptable in their culture so I understand what he is saying. Nonetheless, that wont be an excuse during your interview so make sure your answers are solid. When asked why you fell in love with her and what is keeping you together besides her being caring and supporting you financially, what would be the answer? The questions and comments the other members mentioned that could be asked at your interview are valid and are likely to be asked. 

The Consulate Officers in Pakistan are very good at their job.  You have to convince them that the marriage is bona fide, and not just a younger man who found a "sugar mama"  who will get them a green card.

You'll have evidence of being together in person in the USA for at least 4 months.  That's the most important kind of evidence you can have.  If you've spent other time together in Mexico, you'll have passport stamps in HER passport as evidence of that.  Include a few photos together at different times and places, and call it good.

I'm going to jump in here.  Not sure if this will be helpful or not.

After my wife got here, also from the Philippines, she went thru a period of time where she acted similar to this.  She was physically and mentally abusive to me, all the while screaming I was abusive to her when I would never even consider laying a hand on her.  (Don't EVER do that, because then it's ALL on you.) She got jealous over things that happened only in her dreams. (You ever get yelled at for something that happened in someone's dream?  And asked to apologize for it? I did!)   She kept threatening to "go home" or to "go to a Philippine shelter". (Someone told her they exist).   At one point, after being physically assaulted, I called the police.  Since I had a mark on me and she didn't have anything, the police were going to charge her with abuse.  I declined, but that stuff stopped quickly.  She told me she was a bit shocked that in the USA they would charge a woman with abuse.  Sometime (maybe before, or after) she called some Philippine "mission" and they told her they had nothing to do with people's marriages. (I still don't know who she called, but it was weird)  After that, one of our Philippine neighbors essentially told her to cut it out.  (On these last items, I didn't have to do anything, the stars just aligned in our favor)

She subsequently got a job that she absolutely loves.  She's turned around.  She's NEVER physically abusive anymore.  Occasionally she's emotionally abusive(?) or maybe manipulative, but she's gotten so much better with that, and we are at the point now where I can go "hey, you are doing that again."  I've had my faults too (aren't we all a work in progress?), but we've grown together thru this process.

Consider this: Her voyage here was crazy for her from a mental standpoint.  She's left her whole world behind.  She is alone, except for with you. She's about as far away from home as she can get. Don't underestimate what that does to any person, especially one that has likely never traveled outside of her country.  She's transitioning from a long distance relationship to being a full time wife and partner.  That doesn't excuse the threats or the abuse.  In fact, I'd recommend asking her to go to therapy together, so a third party can help you find methods to work thru these things.  Many Filipinas have insane level jealously issues, even when unjustified.  She may need therapy to learn to deal with those feelings, which likely drive some of her behavior.  
 
Now many have said abusers never change.  That's often true.  But it's not 100% true.  It wasn't for me.  My wife and I are once again crazy mad in love with each other, and I can't think of not wanting to spend the rest of my life with her.  For the first year or so after she got here, it was pure hell.  But now, it's nice.  She's back to being the girl I fell in love with when I was living in Manila.  Our relationship is stronger than ever.  I hope this same outcome for you.

You have been given a lot of really great perspectives here.  I hope you find a solution that works for you, and I wish you the very best.  
 

call her bluff and check in to the battered shelter yourself. Seems you have a valid case of spousal abuse.

Never try to fix the relationship with an abuser

Citizenship can not be done quickly. Once she gets it he still could be forced to pay alimony and whatever else she may get in a divorce.
 
His best options are to grow a pair and correct the balance in the relationship if it's not too late, or send her home and file divorce here.

That is the best advice in this thread.......

CBP called using the airport phone. 

OP
1 of 2 things happened
He fly into Chicago and from there disappeared on his own after going thru Customs and he scammed u
If he did that u r better off without him
 
Or 
CBP sent him back as they suspected he was breaking one of the immigrations laws and he has a bar  now
If that is true CBP did u a favor and u are better off without him
 
What can u do now?
 
Do nothing / u have not married /u have not signed the I 864/ u do not have to pay for health care for him/  or support him for  the year or 2 that it takes to get the approval to work and you are $1225 richer/  u r off the hook 
and YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM

Where in the world is Carmen Santiago? vibes.

Hi,
 
Just out of curiosity, did CBP use your fiance's phone to call you?  Or did they call from a different number and you called the Chicago O'Hare CBP number: (773) 686-7066 ?
 
EDIT:  The above is for Global Entry enrollment.  The main contact number for International Arrivals is  (773) 686-2800

Something like this has happened before. The guy lied to his fiance he got a visa to visit her, he collected money from her claiming he could get a cheaper ticket from our local ticket dealers, he lied also about him boarding the plane and landing at the airport, also had one of his friends call to say he was detained at the airport and would be sent back home. She found out after she posted the supposed e visa and we told her "sorry, you've just been scammed"
 
That call never came from CBP, sorry! 
 
He probably thinks he can continue the process now without u. He's probably far away from the airport now 🥱

@Mike E you have put a thought/ possibility in my head that I will not be able to shake off…brrr

Serious as a heart attack.
 
OP posts that OP thinks the fiancé is scamming and the next thing we know CBP is combing through his phone. I’m not a believer in coincidences.   

Someone in DHS or DoS reading VJ would do it.  

Me neither. Anyone could call and say they are CBP, especially if the fiance traveled with someone else. No advice to OP comes to mind because of the countless inconsistencies of this case. An annotation of "Fake Marriage" on a K1 case? Baggage that gets to its destination without the traveler rechecking it? Former allegations of fraud? These are not immaterial details and I am having a hard time believing CBP would pull him aside to check his phone to start with. 
 
Having said that, and having nothing useful to contribute to this thread, I am signing off.

I travelled through Heathrow I never needed a transit visa.
 

When my fiancé came through O'Hara years ago he was held in secondary for hours, missed his flight and had to spend the night in the airport (great welcome to America)
He said he saw his luggage while he was being detained and asked if he could go get it and bring it to where he was sitting and was told no. We never saw his luggage again. Did a lost luggage form, called, everything...it was never found.

I'm not convinced it was actually CBP that called.
