Hello,

My (ex)-fiancee (US citizen) applied for a fiancee visa for me last year and I received the approval package from the consulate with the documents I was supposed to fill out for the visa interview. That was in late January 2013. However, in the meanwhile, my fiancee and I split up, so we are not proceeding with the documents. My question is:

- Do we need to officially cancel the petition?

- Can I cancel it, or it has to be him, since he applied for it?

- Would there be any consequences if I just leave the documents hanging and I don't send official letter of cancellation?

Thanks in advance!

Read this case, where the couple has problems with past petition not cancelled.

I would suggest you guys to officially cancel the petition, to avoid any future problems, should any of you want to file petition / apply visa in the future.

You never know if you will meet someone else and intend to pursue immigration visa again.

Also do keep all the paper works for references.

The petitioner could email the US consulate that you are not intending to continue the process anymore.

Send a letter of cancellation with copy of NOA2 to USCIS too.

Done with K1, AOS and ROC

OP, it is crucial to be proactive on officially cancelling this.

As stated please keep all documents for the future.

Absolutely. In addition, bear in mind that canceling the appointment will open a slot for a couple who will be proceeding with the interview.

Thank you all for your responces! I will do it then, I thought there might be something like automatic cancellation, and truth is I really didn't want to deal with this, emotionwise :}

@TBoneTX - no worries, I hadn't booked a slot for interview, when I received the papers, thats when I stopped the process..

Canceling things might give you a feeling of closure, si man. This is a tough time for you, but you'll be fine. :thumbs:
