The K-1 visa will need to be canceled before applying for a second visa. Its likely that he will still end up administrative review, just because its very common in certain countries.

what do you mean by saying he will still end up administrative review.

what do you mean by saying he will still end up administrative review.

In certain regions of the world, for security reasons, or if a consulate has a high amount of fraud. Many cases in that particular consulate will end up in AP or AR.

Most likely he wont get an answer from first petition becouse k-1 expires. They will just send his fiance email saying your petition has expired ,you may apply again.

Ditto what everyone else said...AND, the original 'american' woman has to cancel the K-1 petition. Your friend is the beneficiary, he can't cancel the petition. It is the US citizent that has to do that, just like it is the US citizen (the 2nd american woman) that has to apply for the CR1 or K3 visa if she chooses.

On another note....because of the wait time, your friend has stopped feeling for his first american woman...but somehwere in the agonoizingly long, over a year, wait he's met someone else who's come to visit him 7 times?!? Wow he must be one smooth talker!

Let's not confuse petitions and applications. Petitioners (in this case) are US Citizens but the visa applicant is a foreigner. The foreigner actually can cancel their visa application (DS 230 etc.) just like any visa applicant that requires no petitioner can, but the visa applicant cannot withdraw a petition. A USC must do that. A withdrawn petition effectively cancels any visa application that results from it. A US Citizen doesn't need a visa to enter the US, so they only apply for visas to enter other countries, never the US.

The OP's friend would be wise to make certain the petition is withdrawn before they become the beneficiary of a new petition filed by a new petitioner. If they cannot assure that, then if they have actually submitted a visa application to a Consulate, they will want to notify the Consulate they won't be proceding with the visa process.

Does this new American woman know about the original American woman? How is it that while waiting for one year he was able to have the second American woman visit 7 times? Kind of a coincidence that he miraculously fell in love with ANOTHER American woman, huh?

These are all questions he will have to answer at his interview, if he gets that far.

But he's a shoo-in for a visa because "this second woman she come to visit him more than 7 times and they have alot of proves because of seeing each other that alot."

OK, I'm gonna stop now. *P slaps her wrist, bad girl!*
