Bristol, TN asked in Divorce and Immigration Law for Tennessee

Q: Is Divorce by publication possible on a NON U.S citizen missing abroad? She lived here at my same address -90 days 2005

Two day marriage on a k-1 visa (lived here 87 days total) ..filed for 2cnd Visa this time for a wife as she returned early before A.O.S....it was approved and she allowed it to expire never returning. She went back to Crimea, Sevastopol 2005..was living in St Petersburg Russia July 2008 when I lost contact. Divorce by publication seems to be my only chance to get relief...but I've been told this can't be done due to an agreement with the Geneva Convention. Is it truly IMPOSSIBLE..for this kind of service for divorce in my situation? Thanks
