Hello Everybody!

I was wondering if any of you had done this. We are thinking about changing plans, now we want to get married outside of the US. What would be the procedure? Just send a letter to the USCIS and begin a new petition with a I-130 form? Should we wait for the cancelation notice before the new petition?

Thanks for your comments.

This has been answered elsewhere, but the rough idea is this... yes, you'd have to cancel your current petition and start a new one. You would lose your filing fee, have to pay the filing fee for a new petition, and you'd start the waiting over again. But if those things are all worth the new wedding plans, there you go. Piece of cake!

Hi! We haven't cancelled. We are still waiting for the approval, it seems to be the fastest way to be together, though it's taking longer than expected.

:( How long is longer than expected? I'm getting ready to file for the K1 and am wondering if we should just go and get married somewhere and then start the K3 process. Is that what you're planning on doing?

We filed in November, so it's been 6 months and 10 days of waiting without any update on our case. We thought of getting married and file IR1 or CR1, since we're planning to live in the USA. But that would re-start the waiting period, which is what we don't want.

K3 is dead. You would file the CR-1/IR-1

Both processes are taking 9-12 months at the moment. Depending on your country it could be longer.
