Cancel or withdraw K1 Petition

[erintoronto 0]

I ended my relationship with my fiance (USC) almost two months ago.

It was my understanding that I could withdraw the petition if we sent the following to CSC:

1. a letter from him (USC) stating things didn't work out and he wanted petition withdrawn

2. a letter from me stating things didn't work out and he wanted petition withdrawn

3. a copy of our NOA1

Now the problem is that he didn't get his @ss in gear in time and our petition was approved on friday (june 18).

Should we still send the above noted to the CSC, plus should I send the full package plus a copy of our NOA2 and a letter explaining that we tried to withdraw the petition but did not do so in time to the consulate we'd be dealing with (Montreal)?

My biggest issue is that my ex has failed to send me a copy of our NOA1 and we're obviously waiting on our NOA2.

Would it be possible for me to write a letter independent of him and explain that he is being uncooperative? At this point I don't trust that I'll ever hear from him again, let alone receive these documents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd really like this part of my life to be over with. It's been horribly painful and upsetting to find out that the person I loved wasn't who he said he was.

I may be off base here, but I think the petition itself will expire eve if you do nothing. So if you sit tight the problem solves itself.

the bigger issue is that my family spends half of the year in the US. i'm canadian. i want to ensure that i don't have any problems crossing the border.

any advice?

Why do you think an expired/withdrawn/denied K-1 would interfere with other travel to the US? There won't even be an entry in your passport at this stage. Again, I could be wrong here, but I don't see an issue.

I think since its in the middle now waiting for Montreal you maybe able to call NVC and let them know that you want to cancel it other then that I know you will be able to email Montreal (they dont take calls) and tell them to cancel it. I would think its better to cancel it rather then letting it sit it will be done faster and make way for others.

I think the OP said her ex was the USC. If so, she may not be able to cancel. She said that he is not responding. I agree that letting the system work until expiration will clog the queue for others, but the OP can't help that.

Alone, the beneficiary can't do much but let the petition expire. It might be worth a letter to the Consulate if you have a case number to reference. If nothing else, I'd write the letter, get it notarized and carry a copy of the letter and proof the Consulate received it then carry a copy of all that when crossing the border. At least you're on recordd you no longer have immigrant intent.

the USC is apparently now going to participate in all this. wait and see.

i did get advice from a US immigration lawyer who said exactly what was said above minus letting the petition expire. apparently if the USC has sent everything (letter from him, letter from me and copy of our NOA1) to california, then i can send that same package to montreal plus a copy of our NOA2 plus a letter explaining again that we had recently mailed a package of info to the service center and tried to have the petition withdrawn but missed it by a few days.

but a notarized letter is the way for me to go with this montreal package, and for my records. but this is all provided the USC has done what he said he was going to do.

thank you all for your help in this frustrating matter.

Sorry the relationship did not work out for you erin. Thank you as well for getting back to us. It's interesting to note that the US immigration lawyer said exactly what everyone here was saying...and in fact that we had one other piece of information that he did.

It's so nice that you followed up so that we can better help others that might go through this in the future that might not see the post.
