i-129F process complete, but of course interview failed at embassy. Now going to file I-130. Yes we are officially married in beneficiary country. (Was not an easy task, the stupid things they ask for and how corrupt they are).

Anyway, back to i-129F. interview failed in September 2011. To do this date, nothing. no letters, nothing... yes, I've written embassy oversea etc...

Is it true that USCIS just let the i-129F expire if visa is denied? and if so, should i file the i-130 CR1? I'm ready to mail it.

or should i write a letter to cancel i-129F. does it matter?

thanks

USCIS will often let an I-129F file sent back by an Embassy or Consulate expire and subsequently tell the petitioner they can start over by filing again. Since you are now married, your only course of action is to file an I-130.

As for the I-129F petition, you need to find out what the status on it is, expired, re-affirmed, or Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) sent. If the petition is reaffirmed, you will need to withdraw it because you are married and the beneficiary is no longer eligible for a fiance(e) visa. If an NOIR is received, it MUST be rebutted. If it's expired, then there is nothing more you need to do with that petition.

What is the beneficiary's country if you don't mind me asking?
