Time to let go????

[Mexicana 0]

Hi everyone, I need help!!!! I dont know what to do.

My bf proposed me last year and after evaluating our options we decided to apply for a K1 Visa. We have been waiting for the NOA2 ever since. Last month we began to have sever problems in the relatioship when i found that he has been dating other girl while waiting for our visa, i confronted him and he was very agressive but at the end he admited it and we ended up breaking up the relationship. I have been so heart broken and i dont think i can marry someone i cant trust. He refuses to cancel the petition because he says that if he does he will lose me forever.

I was told by our lawyer that filed our case he is the only one that can cancel the petition.

I dont know if that is true or not or what are my options. I just want to get back to my normal life but i am worry because i dont want this situation to affect my status. I have always have turist visa. I visit the country at least 3 times a yr. I had a student visa in the past. My current job requires me to travel to the states once on a while and my boss has been helping out on that matter, but i want to solve this asap.

Any advice?????

Sorry for the typos. English is my 2nd language.

If you get any paperwork from the US embassy asking you to fill out paperwork for visa, obtain certain documents or do a medical exam, mail it back to the embassy with explanation that you're not proceeding with K-1 visa due to infidelity of the petitioner. Problem solved.

Should not affect your existing tourist visa.

I would imagine you could also send a signed letter to the service center that is processing your visa and tell them you no longer intend to marry your fiance. I would think that would alert them to stop the petition process as well.

[YozhikandBulochka 3]

yeah i agree...if you dont wanna marry him just dont sign any documents and the petition will disappear. sorry for your heartbrokeness (not a word i know) it sucks i know. Good luck in life. ciao

There is a petition stage and a visa application stage. The USC petitions the US government to allow the beneficiary to apply for a visa. That part does have to be rescinded/cancelled by the USC. At the visa application stage USCIS starts corresponding with you and not him. That is when you can retract the application and close it. Ignoring it (as someone suggested) will cause it to remain in limbo and it will come back to bite you at at some point, depending upon where you are a citizen of.

I am going to move your thread from K-1 Progress over to the Effects of Major Changes forum as you'll receive the best information over there. All the best.

Just a small correction. It will be a Consular Immigrant Visa Unit abroad that starts corresponding with the foreign fiancee, not USCIS. Informing the visa unit you will not be applying for a visa, is what will avoid any problems with your ability to continue to use your current visa.

I was going to say the exact same thing. I am so sorry for your heartache. I hope things turn around for you soon.

It certainly wouldn't hurt anything to write a letter to the service center, using the case number and letting them know you no longer intend to marry the petitioner. Generally, you would have provided a letter of intent. Notifying them of a reversal in your intent, might prevent the petition being approved. I've never seen it tried.

I think this is sound. A letter of intent is mandatory for approval. So this should stop it, and it puts you in the driver's seat instead of waiting around and letting it die eventually.

Maybe. I've seen plenty of I-129F cases approved without letters of intent but never seen one approved with a letter reversing that intent in the file. Probably because I haven't seen it tried.

Thank you for the responses. So, if i understand right i need to wait for now until we get the NOA2, then i can go ahead and submit a letter to cancel the petition right?

Thanks a lot for your help!

No, you cannot cancel the petition. Only the petitioner can do that. You may be able to prevent the petition from being approved but if not, you can stop the visa process by no applying for a visa. The petition approval is only good for 4 months. If during that time, you notify the Consulate you will not apply for a visa, the petition approval will expire and your notification will be part of that record.
