Thank You so much! Was worried and didnt want to give too much of the wrong info. I appreciate you. And letter goes to USICS and Consulate who has the case?

Send a copy to both USCIS and your Embassy. This comes directly from the regulations.

 

9 FAM 41.81 N6.1 Action When Petition Received (TL:VISA-2; 08-30-1987) Upon the receipt of an approved K-1 visa petition, the post should send a letter to the beneficiary outlining the steps to be taken to apply for a visa. If the initial 4- month validity of a petition has expired without a response to the post’s letter, the consular officer should send a follow-up letter to the beneficiary, with a copy to the petitioner, and request a reply within 60 days. If the 60-day period passes without a response from either party, or, if the response indicates that the couple no longer plans marriage, the case is to be considered abandoned; the petition is to be retained at the post for a period of one year and then destroyed.

@Greenbaum it was in regards to your post above advising me to write a withdrawal. I was asking how what do I write in the letter without stating too much? We have a child together so not sure if will make up later. But if we do, how would this affect future filing for him?

Addendum: You do not need to specify, other than that you are not going to get married at this time and that you would like your file to be closed. Add your information of both parties i.e. full names, case number, WAC# birth dates. When either of you go to file for a new visa, whether that is together or with a different person, you will be starting with a clean slate. This process has been going on for many years and USCIS and the embassy will know what to do. Make sure you keep any and all correspondence to use if needed in the future. This action will have no baring on your child. You should sort through the legal "stuff" so that you have custody and all rights to his/her future. You'll need a lawyer for this I am sure. This way you have clear sailing in the future if you were to apply for a new visa with someone else.  Good luck.

Thank You! I'm going to send a letter to close the case and close that chapter. I'm not even considering getting back with him. This 2019 and I'm on to new. Everything happens for a reason.

Wow, I was surprised to see a quote from someone filling within our own range of filling, as well, still waiting to be approved.

That's awesome guys, I am happy to hear it.

I, basically left VJ, once we got most of the stuff done and I can't believe some of the people weren't approved by now!

I am happy you guys finished it!Good luck!

LOL! Thanks for clearing that up! I misread.

Wondering if any of you submitted your I-797 notice of approval from USCIS to the embassy interview officer? We did, they took it. Now we're in the USA applying for Green Card (AOS) and they are asking for this I-797 back! We're like "we handed it in at the interview along with all sorts of other documentation."

 

Now I'm told by USCIS that I have to order a copy and wait 3 months for it !
