Migrating questions between sites _never_ worked well in practice. We have a lot of experience about this from SE's various experiments: there was rarely ever a successfully migrated post but countless fiascos. The OP got confused, the users of the target site got annoyed, moderators got pointless busy-work and then got yelled at for doing it wrong.

The sober way to deal with such questions is to close them as off-topic, then give the OP a nudge towards the other site where the question _might_ on-topic. Preferably towards the other site's "what's on-topic here" page, since the OP already failed to read that one for the current site.
