He’ll arrive around 6:30am Monday morning

I fly through Chicago all the time.  You have to pick up your luggage after leaving immigration and take it to American for next flight.  

Normally, but they went to check and American Airlines thought he was already on his flight and checked it for him. People make mistakes and don’t follow the rules, it happens.

OP 

I must  apologize for not having more sympathy for your situation

we all know u have put valuable time and energy and your heart into this

we all know as we all have done it too

and i married from a high fraud country too so i took a lot of criticism 

but we know u fell in love

we know (from your posts) that your heart and head were in conflict

its hard to not know if your doubts are real or if others have influenced your thinking 

but please please be cautious 

and don't ever think we post on the negative for any reason other to make u aware and hopefully get u thru this heartbreak 

i was  talking reality here without thinking of your heart and what u have put into a relationship

i just think u dodge a bigger problem he would have given u if he was with u and u married

so very sorry for what u go thru now

Thanks for taking the time to say this

I certainly remember cases where the beneficiary has entered and disappeared.

 

Multiple calls is also odd, but seems a stretch to assume an elaborate ploy. I am as cynical as the best of them but that sounds a strectch.

 

FOIA well that would be something for him to seek, not sure she can.

 

But then he was there and knows what happened, how it went down.

 

And all that would be if they wish to look at US Immigration again, seems a lot of issues to address first.

 

 

That was my first thought. When I checked with the ticketing agent and was told he never boarded his flight out of Chicago.

Have you ever transferred flights after landing internationally? How did your luggage make the connection? There’s no pixie dust at the airport.
 

Still waiting for OP to clarify if she got the baggage.

We have no idea where his luggage is.

Was he traveling on his K-1 visa?

 

You can notify the nearest consulate or embassy of his country that he is being held.  

Done! Thx

No, you have to collect and take luggage through customs before connecting when you land from an international flight. It couldn’t have got through customs without someone physically getting it in the baggage hall, going through customs and dropping it at the baggage point for the airline.

This is true, and I’m not sure how his luggage entered his connection flight.

The fiancé wouldn't have even had access to the luggage.  The visa holder coming through customs and immigration is required to pick it up and have it inspected before it is loaded onto a connecting flight.

"You nag more than you should" doesn't sound at all like something CBP would ever say, lol.

I said, I nag more than I should, it was all in our chats. 🙄

Thank you for the update. Here’s an easy internet read that explains what the 5 year bar discussion with the attorney may look like for you http://www.borderimmigrationlawyer.com/expedited-removal/

 

But basically, he got ER ( expedited removal, think of it as a fast deportation ) and there is NOTHING you can do to get him IN to the US, he will be sent back. There is NOTHING you can do to revive the K-1. 
 

IF you wanted to continue the relationship, you would now have to MARRY him , file an I-130 , wait for it to be approved then file I-601 Waiver and I-212 Permission to Reapply..all of which will require YOU to show hardship at being separated from your new spouse…and A LOT of legal fees. You will be getting a consultation so I hope the attorney realistically paints the TIMELINE and $$$ scenario of your future for the next few years. 
 

I am assuming the finding by CBP is “ FRAUD/ MISREPRESENTATION “..so  do a CBP / FOIA https://www.cbp.gov/site-policy-notices/foia   His paperwork can’t say “ fake marriage “ cause you are not married 
 

HOW on earth did he get into secondary, why did they ask for his phone ? 

 

 

I’m not sure why they asked for his phone. However, during one of our arguments I stated this was a Fake Marriage, I was being hateful. I never meant a word of it. Never imagined this would happen. I’m going to review the links you sent. Thanks for being so informative.

Something isn't right about this entire story.

I’m just saying what I was told, his paperwork says, “Fake Marriage” and I was asking for help on what to do next.

Does he actually require a visa to travel via London? A while back I read that you don't need a visa to transit via UK provided you stay put at the airport. 

 

I travel a lot and since Kenya is a 20 hour flight minimum, I transit via other countries. I have never got visas for those countries. 

 

Understandably, there's a direct flight from NY to Nairobi via Kenya Airways. I would never board Kenya Airways. I'd rather walk if that was my last option.  🤣

He has to stay on the same airline he traveled into the states on, which is American and British air. I contacted American Airlines and he is rebooked on a flight leaving out of Chicago tonight through Qatar.

Drive to Chicago and see for yourself, it is only a 4 hour drive.  

I would fly in a heartbeat if I knew I could see him. 

Just now, mytruelove18 said:

As the calls where when you were waiting for him, did you see him at the airport?

I did not see him. The first place he touchdown in the states was Chicago, his final destination was to St.Louis. 

Just now, Boiler said:

Odd for a K1 to be deported any clues why?

Yes, the CBP went through our WhatsApp chat. They said we fight too much and I don’t love him. His paperwork says, “Fake Marriage” I nag more than I should and said hateful things I didn’t mean. I love him with all my heart. Never imagined this would happen.

Who informed you about his detention?

The CBP gave me a courtesy call when I was waiting for him at the airport. I called them back to see what flights they rebooked him on. 

5 minutes ago, Jorgedig said:

Key here is knowing whether she found out he was being 'detained' from CBP itself, or from the Nigerian fiance.  If the latter, he's probably long gone from the Chicago area.

The CBP contacted me three times. The first time was a courtesy call to let me know he is still being interviewed and will be on the next flight. The second call was to tell me he is being returned to Nigeria and the third time was to see if I picked up his luggage. I called them back to see what flight he was rebooked on. At this very moment he is still detained. Once he boards the aircraft he will get his phone back. I’m not sure if the CBP offered him the chance to withdraw his request to enter the US. I just know he is barred for 5 years.  I’m speaking with an attorney on Monday.

Thx

My fiancé traveled on the 18th of May and currently he is being detained at the Chicago Border Protection. His visa has been canceled and they can’t fly him home because London will refuse him. I was advised to contact my Congressman, but I can’t get a hold of anyone after business hours. He is being held like a criminal and we don’t know what to do. He is still in the United States. I just want him here with me. Any suggestions would be helpful

My advice is to trust your instincts. If you think something is fishy, it probably is. 
 

I will explain my history though as it might mitigate your beneficiary’s behavior. If that is the only red flag, it might help you out. 
 

Back in 2000 I married a woman from Peru on a K1. We were divorced three years later. Eighteen months ago I married a wonderful woman from Ukraine. We are going through the I-130 process now and are currently at the NVC. In between these two women I dated a Russian woman for several years. 

 

As a USC I certainly have no citizenship agenda, but you could say I have a “type.”  I have dated American women, but I much prefer those from Eastern Europe. 
 

As I said, if you think he is using you for immigration purposes, my gut would agree with you. I’m just pointing out that isn’t the only possible rationale for him dating three Americans. 
 

One suggestion. On my K1, we did not get married during the 90 day period. She went home just prior to the deadline and I filed another K1. Things were much faster back then so it was only about a three month wait. 
 

if you aren’t certain, bring him here and tell him you would like more time. This will only cost you a little money and time, but it could expose his motivation. He might react very negatively in a time when he should be accommodating to your uncertainty. 

Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. His flight leaves from Nigeria to the states in three days. However, that’s  not the only red flag…. something feels off 😩

To each his own,  let me give you a little run down about me and you can decide for your self. When I met my wife I had several relationships with american and my intentions was to meet the right person that I can integrate my life with. I was tired of going through the same stuff with girls in my country (jamaica) that I decided on trying something new and having a new adventure. I have sinced moved to the United States and completed my immigration process and I'm still with my wife. Sure we have had outer moments but I've never once thought of just throwing in the towel and walk away from my now 8 year relationship (5year marriage). I found that long distance relationship worked for me because I was better at expressing my self that way and it gave us the opportunity to know each other.

And let's keep it real unless you have a great job offer in a foreign country your not about to move to a third world country permanently so once you engage with a foreigner its likely that they will have to move the other way man or woman. God forbid if something should happen between me and my wife and I was to date a foreigner I'm not moving from the United States to another country.

Point is him talking about a visa process which is information provided to the public not a red flag in my opinion

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for sharing the info.

Do you know why it didn’t pan out? They were also US citizens?

Yeah, I’m not sure. I have his old IPhone and found screenshots with them discussing the visa process.

The K1 visa allows him entry to the US. But, his green card journey is far from over. 

If you do not marry him and you do not file for adjustment the I-485 and I-864 (and he has to apply for work authorization and travel permission) he won't have legal status in the US. 

If you're worried about being used I would try to stop or delay his entry to the US. 

The other members have given you good advice on how to proceed. 

 

If you'd like to talk about the issues you're worried about answer the questions @TBoneTX mentioned regarding you courtship and maybe you'll see a) he is using you or b.) he is someone who enjoys being super prepared for moving to a whole new country and is interested in the minutia of the process. 

 

ETA: If you read previous consulate reviews. You'll see the interview process is really easy. Especially if the couple is real.

Common questions are : when did you meet? how did you meet? what does your partner do? when was the last time you saw them? 

I believe it’s option A 

They asked him: How did we meet? How old is my daughter? When was the last time you saw them? Where does your fiancée work? That’s about it. I have traveled to Nigeria several times and something shady happens every time. 
 

Thanks! Good info
