Broke up with fiancee after already submitted k1 petition

[Johna 0]

Hello everyone,

So my fiancee and I broke up a few weeks after we submitted the K1 petition packet to the USCIS.

Then, right after our break-up, I received a letter from the USCIS saying that the $340 fee was received and our packet is being sent to a different location for processing.

So I waited a couple more weeks hoping that we would get back together but now it is 100% certain that my fiancee is done with me.

What actions can I take to stop the K1 process? And I am worried that this will have an effect on me doing another K1 in the future should I decide to try going that route again.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Write a simple letter to USCIS stating that the petitioner wishes to withdraw the petition and that the beneficiary will not be petitioning for the K1 visa at this point. Include a copy of the NOA1 so USCIS can tie the letter to your particular case.

They should reply with a confirmation - (Canceled/Withdrawn Without Prejudice.)

It will have an affect if you decide to ever file an I-129F petition again.

Because if you file again, they will ask if you have ever filed for anybody in the past.

They will ask who you filed for? when you filed? and the outcome of the filing

Whether it is a negative affect....that I cannot tell you.

You shouldn't really worry too much about filing another K1 in the future. You never know where and in what circumstances you will meet your future spouse.

However, canceling a K1 is not a barrier from filing future ones.

Thank you for the replies. I will write a letter to the USCIS and send immediately.

If anyone has had anything like this happen or has anything else to add, I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Make sure that you are really truly done. It becomes complicated to try to withdraw a withdrawal letter. It has happened many times on here in the past few months.

Cancelling will have some effect. You will have to disclose on future petitions and they may ask your Fiance about them at interviews.

There's a member on here, Bill TIllman (sp), who alleges that he has done 3 or 4 petitions successfully so you might want to search him out.

Best of luck.

Effect on any future petitions - you cancel/withdraw your current one. You won't need a vaiwer for a future petition because your current one was never approved. However, mention the cancelled petition to your potentially future fiancee. You do not want her to be surprised at her interview and having the interviewing officer think you've kept it from her. And yes - they might ask.

I sure wish some people knew an answer for sure before they post help for someone. It could really cause legal problems with the wrong advise.

#1. You can't get in a jam or have problems for filing, withdrawing and then filing again with another respondent (foreign fiancee) ---- I personally know guys who have been through this. USCIS understands that all relationships don't work.

#2 If you break up with your fiancee you need to file a "Motion to Withdraw I129F"

Contact the National Visa Center with a request to withdraw your petition. No explanation is necessary. Be sure to reference any confirmation numbers you received in response to your original petition. Send this letter certified.

Wait until you receive confirmation that your petition has been withdrawn. Be patient, as notification of withdrawn petitions can take some time.

You are early on enough to not have any future issues should you go this route again. Watch my/our timeline for more as I cancelled my ex's in the 11th hour as she was going through medical. I am certain of an RFE for mine is forthcoming in the next few months. I am starting month 4 since my NOA1 so we will see. And never say never as I tossed all my documents after my break up as "I WAS NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN". Once again, time heals and never say never.

Good luck!

. Just write a letter including copy of NOA1 stating your desire to withdraw the petition.

WOW motion to cancel I-129F? You don't need that. You need to send a simple letter to USCIS and ask to cancel the petition that's all. Immigration Law States if you filed two or more k1 petitions in any time in the past or previously had a k1 petition approved within two years prior to the filling of the petition the individual must apply for a waiver.

Indeed. Motion? No, just send a letter stating you wish to withdraw your petition. The petition is barely past the initial receiving phase, so it certainly has not reached the NVC as of yet. Send the letter to the service center your petition was sent to for processing. Including a copy of your NOA1 receipt notice is a good idea. You should receive confirmation that your petition was canceled. Do not assume it was until you get confirmation.

Hi Johna I wanted to ask what happened to the petition you cancelled last August 2012? How long before you received a confirmation that it was withdrawn already? Me and fiancé are planning to cancel the petition because we are scared to get denied because we submitted incomplete papers and then re-apply again. Hope to hear response. Thank you
