Withdrawing K1 petition

[Jacque67 7,328]

Is it possible for the beneficiary to close the petition.

I have read before that the petitioner must be the one to send a letter to the embassy.

What happens if one can't get the petitioner to send off a letter?

I want to apply for. b2 visa later in the year to go on holiday with friends ( can't use the VWP due to a 60 day overstay several years ago)

From what I have read so far, there is no chance beneficiary can close the petition. Many of them were tried and failed. The embassy will tell the beneficiary that the petitioner must be the one who withdrawing it. I have no idea for US embassy in London though but it has been proven at the US embassy in Manila.

When the embassy sends you (beneficiary) the letter of instruction saying they have received the approved petition, you can inform them that you will not be applying for a K1 visa and no longer intend to marry the petitioner.

The thing is I as sent a letter of instruction by the embassy in Japan over a year ago. The petitioner has written two letters of extension in the past year, and the last one expired last month.

I can't get hold of the petitioner to withdraw the original petition.

I am in limbo. I want to take a short break to Guam which would require a B2visa.

So if I, the beneficiary write a letter to the embassy, will the case not be closed ( even though it had technically expired ?)

I don't want to waste money applying for a B2 , if it will automatically get denied.

If the petition has expired does a letter of withdrawal need to be written?

The only matter is when you are trying to apply for K-1 visa again and there is still active petition according to USCIS. But if you only apply for B-2 visa I believe the active petition won't affect your application though still raised a suspicion since you already had intent to immigrate to the US by apply K-1 visa before.

If you want the case closed, then write the embassy and tell them you do not want a visa and do not want to marry and ask them to close the case, or for confirmation if it has already been closed.

There will never be a visa unless you apply, no matter how many times the petitioner asks for the petition to be extended. If you have never told them you have no contact with the petitioner, and are no longer willing to marry her, then maybe they are leaving it open because she has indicated you need more time by asking for extension. You are no longer eligible if you are not planning to marry. Stop guessing and write them a formal, snail mail letter and ask the only people who know.

As the beneficiary, you can just not go to the interview. You have to wait out the process before any other visa will be considered. Sucks but that's the deal you have.

You can get a B2 while a I-129F petition is pending. Makes little to no difference. Yours is so old and you have no desire to pursue it anyway, so non-issue.

Why can't you travel on VWP?

Two month overstay. I was drunk when I booked my flight to the States and didn't get the whole VWP deal . I applied online at Heathrow an hour before my flight.

Ho hum!

You have no contact with the petitioner? Why is he/she is extending the petition?

Is the petitioner like a stalker or something?

More like power hungry? Who knows.
