OK, K1 Petition was approved, but Now I don't want to use it

[SuperDuper! 230]

I even had a USEM Manila Embassy Visa interview scheduled. I did call and cancel the Embassy interview. I sent (non-notarized) duplicate explanation letters to the USCIS, NVC and USEM . Since the K1 petition was already approved, cancellation is not applicable, right?

I think I met a better, more responsible Filipina, and will likely want to petition her instead. I will probably go visit her in Phils in 2 months. Too many red flags of a train wreck on the first girl, So I had to cut my losses with her and move on!

Will my previous K1 petition slow down the process of getting the NOA1 on a new petition? I do expect RFE initially for an IMBRA waiver, but beyond that, will my new petition be held up? Thanks for your input. I was reading the recent threads on cancelling K1 Petitions not yet approved, but since mine was approved for a girl I no longer want, I am unclear how this effects a new K1. Thank you for your responses.

No - you can't cancel it at this point, since it was approved.

She will probably still get the interview, and if you didn't send your I-134, and they have the letters, she probably will not get the visa.

Yes, your first K-1 will "slow" you down. You will have get a waiver if your trying to get it done soon. RFE? if you know you need to fill out paperwork, you would be better off sending it in with your petition.

but since mine was approved for a girl I no longer want, I am unclear how this effects a new K1.

this has no bearing on your 2nd visa other than you will need to fill out additional paperwork. as per the instructions for the K-1.

^^^^Are ya serious??? You make it sound like the Philipeans (sp?) is just a processing plant that you can just grab a girl and dispose of her when your not interested any more. You met a better more responsible Flipina, umm... you should have been more sure about ur decision the first time before you wasted her time, your time, and that of the people that process your case b/c now your slowing down people that are REALLY in love and that REALLY want to be together. I would say dont bother wasting your time on the next girl, sounds like you might fall out of interest with her too. Unless you have an unknown situation that can clear some of my misconseptions up, i suggest you quit clogging up the immigration process for those who fell in love with foreigners and have good intentions of staying with them for their whole lives.

um, not sure if your just fishing for an argument here but how does your last fiancee feel about you cancelling the petition? I find your language about not wanting the last one and finding a better model quite hard to swallow. But maybe thats me.

You avoid an RFE by requesting the waiver in a letter included with the petition. It's not filling out paperwork. It's just a letter requesting a waiver and explaining why you wish it to be granted.

I'm just shocked that obviously no feeling are involved here And wondering what the poor 1st girl thinks, and how the 2nd one is supposed to feel?

Too many red flags?? Don't you think you should have known that had you spent enough time with her? A true relationship really doesn't happen in two months in an LDR. It should take a good couple of years, with lots of conversation in between!! But....that's just me...

I think even if I meet a better, more responsible Albanian I wouldn't cut my losses and find another one. I'm rather fond of my husband.

i'm not justifying the OP in any way; however, that's a bold statement. how many times can the average person take off work/ spend $$$$ to fly 5,000+ miles and spend time together? once a year? maybe twice? i wouldn't know my fiance any better than i do now having met twice in one year than twice a year for 5 years. it's the "conversation in between" that has formed a strong relationship.

Honestly why not get a two pack next time? You don't want to lose that fresh Eastern European smell they come with.
