His marriage was on the rocks in March of 2019. He was thinking of moving then to Ireland or Portugal. He works apparently from home via internet.

Fascinated to know just why you think the Embassy should have any interest whatsoever in the predicament you have got yourself into.

There is absolutely no reason why the bona fide spouse of a USC would be in this situation. Looking at your post history, you were given ample help and advice from many in here how to move to the US legally. It must be said, we spouses of USCs have one of, if not the easiest routes into the US. Added to that those of us from VWP countries can visit very easily during the process too. Yes, the wait is frustrating, the paperwork is tedious, we all wish it were faster. But the vast majority of us on this page came here that way and it didn’t kill us. At my citizenship interview, there were people in the waiting room who had waited 20+ years to come here. My 10-month process was nothing in comparison.

Yet you came without an immigrant visa and now you’re an overstayer. Congratulations. Even that didn’t have to be the case as overstay is forgiven for spouses of USCs who subsequently adjust status in country. Even illegal work is forgiven. The US government is actually very reasonable to spouses of USCs.

You had not one but two options to change your fate and for some reason you ignored both. It does read from your posts when you were in Ireland that the US was actually your goal and you married someone purely to achieve that. You were planning to marry someone you’d never even met, is how it reads (the talk of marriage and an American girlfriend came out of nowhere, very soon after you realized your situation in Ireland was not working out the way you planned and someone of such limited means that they were begging for unemployment benefits is certainly not in a position to fly off to the US for cozy dates with a lover so I assume you had not actually met in person - hence no K-1 possibility). Maybe that’s why the marriage fell apart - she realized/found out she was just your ticket to the US. Good for her that she’s not helping you get out of the mess you created.

Unless it is a life or death situation the British Embassy will not help you. Even then, in most cases, you are expected to repay the costs involved in getting you back to the UK.

Apart from this being a troll post by the OP (surely!?), this response had me in stitches! Much like if the OP followed this advice!!!

To the OP, no tax payer will have any interest in funding the b/s idea
