Beneficiary withdrawing K1 petition after NAO2

[Harley2 8]

My (ex) fiancée and i are no longer pursuing this visa. He is the petitioner, but he won't write to cancel the petition.

We had our NAO2 in July, and I have not heard anything since from the Embassy in London, not sure if he did he hasn't told me.

I don't want this to be a problem with future visas or visits.

But I understand the petitioner has to be the one to cancel.

What should I do?

If your NOA2 was in July and no further action was taken I Imagine they have presumed the petition has been abandoned, as you are given a four month window to collect documents/have your medical/submit the readiness form/schedule an interview.

If you ever got your case number from NVC you can use the London Embassy contact form to enquire just to make sure however.

More than likely your file is open and will remain open for a year or maybe longer.

I canceled a K1 (Petitioner) after NOA2. It was about 1 year later and I sent letter to Embassy and about 45 days later I got a letter stating petition had been withdrew upon my request.

I am not sure what the beneficiary can do, Call USCIS and ask them.

In the past, London has sent letters to the beneficiary after six months or so of no action on "packet 3" basically saying "are you going to apply for a visa or not"? They hold your case open longer than your 4 month NOA2 as a courtesy. I think it is a good idea to inform them (via the contact form Pheebs posted) that you will no longer be seeking a fiancé visa and do not intend to marry John R. Smith at this time.

Future questions that could come up for you to answer--

Yes, a petition has been filed on your behalf.

No, you have never applied for a visa (if you never submitted Form I-160.)

No, you have never been denied a visa.

Agree with Nich-Nick,

Contacting the interviewing embassy/consulate by way of an explanation letter, with reference numbers, is a prudent action. So as to avoid any loose ends that may become an issue in your future endeavors.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Sorry, I meant DS-160 is the visa application, not I-160. You have not applied for a fiancé visa unless you submitted that form. A petition on your behalf is not a visa application by you.
