Cancel K1 visa interview

[EngineerSwede 1]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in need of guidance.

 

My fiancée and I have decided to cancel my K1 visa petition in favour for her to come to Sweden instead. This for multiple reasons but mainly because I'm still under the 2-year-rule, with a year left to serve.

 

We got as far as to the stage of being able to book an interview for me at the embassy for my K1 visa, but haven't booked one (for reasons of no longer being interested in the K1). 

So we thought that we would cancel the K1 visa application. The end date for us being able to book an interview is coming up fast so we need to cancel it soon.

 

I have a couple of questions.

 

1) How do we proceed to cancel our petition?

2) Will there be any consequences with future applications?

 

Just to clarify, we are still a couple and plan to marry. For now we plan to live in Sweden but in the future we might want to be able to move to the US together.

Our thoughts are that we by then will use another method than K1 visa, but we are worried that the cancellation of this visa could affect our chances in the future.

 

I hope that you guys can help out and that my questions were clear.

 

Best regards,

EngineerSwede

A petitioner or applicant may withdraw a petition or application prior to adjudication. Withdrawal is a voluntary action. It should not be coerced, although it may be suggested as an alternative to a formal denial. Whenever a withdrawal is received, it should be acknowledged, in writing, for the record.

If withdrawn, none. And if you refile, you will only be asked why you did not push through with the initial petition. You can tell them about your decision that she move to Sweden.

You may get married in Sweden and file for spousal visa in the future, that is also an option.

 

Best of luck, you guys!

ONLY the US petitioner can withdraw a petition. Your fiancee should contact USCIS formally to withdraw the approved I-129F.

 

As for you, you should contact your local embassy to inform them that you will not proceed with the application. 

 

I doubt there would be any consequences IF you guys do the abovementioned things and provide them with the reason that you have stated here. But best to have some kinda formal record of such correspondence with USCIS and embassy for theirs and your future reference.
