Aussie woman ghosted by American husband after visa approved

An Australian woman claims her American husband disappeared the day after his Australian partner visa was approved.

An Australian woman was left distraught when she was ghosted by her American husband just one day after his Australian partner visa was approved.

Isabelle Glastonbury claims she met the charming man in the US in 2015, and they got engaged and moved to Australia in 2018.

But after they wed in a $50,000 ceremony paid for by her parents and his visa was approved, he went missing.

Ms Glastonbury told Daily Mail Australia they celebrated his visa approval with dinner and drinks in January 2021, and the next day she came home to “literally 90 per cent of his stuff” gone.

“I tried logging into our immigration accounts, I had been locked out of everything, my credit cards were maxed-out, and I was blocked on his phone, none of my calls or messages going through,” she said.

And it wasn’t just her. She said he had “ghosted everyone”.

“All of our mutual friends, the best man from our wedding and his own family, no one knew where he was,” she told the publication.

She claimed she and others reported him to the immigration department but “nothing happened”.

They had a brief meet-up in February 2021, where he said he “had to be single”, and she has not spoken to him again. He is said to have remarried.

Ms Glastonbury has also moved on and has a new partner and a three-month-old son.

Looking back, she said her ex-husband had started to become distant before his disappearance and she wishes she paid attention to the signs.

“Don’t be blind, because I’m sure I could have seen the signs before this happened and I just ignored it, you never really know who you’re sleeping next to,” she told Daily Mail in a warning to others.
