This is a sad day, and I need advice and direction....

Everyone, (And especially sage members such as Greenbaum), I need your help.

 

First off, I want to say THANK YOU! Especially to all who have helped me in understanding this process well. I hope in some small way I have helped someone too. What seemed insurmountable at first, the K-1 visa process, became totally within reach, if not being a slight test of patience. But love will motivate people to do things for those they love that require sacrifice and wait. I believe in love, and that will not change! It's worth whatever the cost of time and money, as true love never dies.

 

I filed the I-129F application for my fiance, even getting past NVC to the Embassy stage, where things are right now. The date on the notice shows that this will expire 11/29/18, which is in about 3 weeks. But, due to unforeseen occurances, we have both decided mutually to end the process of getting this visa, but only for now. Please understand, this is ONLY FOR NOW. We both still love each other very much, but as responsible adults who still love each other, we realize these issues (personal in nature) must be resolved first, and we both are looking forward to reapplying for the K1 visa soon, hopefully within a year. It might take longer, but we hope not. It could be shorter, but we have to be realistic about things too. As soon as we can do so, you can count on the fact that we will reapply, and immediately so.

 

This is where I need advice, on how to end the process, and honestly I'm so distraught that I can't think well, and the tears just won't stop flowing. It's at the Embassy in Spain now, and with the expiration date soon to come (11/29/18). I need to know how to end the process in such a manner, that reapplying will not be an issue. Extensions are not an option for us, for personal reasons, which we both have agreed to. But, we don't need this to become something that we have to fight with later, when we can reapply, but I don't have the slightest idea of how to go about this.

 

So, I'm begging for some compassion here, and I'm asking for some guidance with this. I don't need this petition to just go back to USCIS and causing future problems for us, which is what I am afraid of happening if I don't quickly act, and for this to become something that's a huge pain to deal with later, when we can reapply. Is there some way to cleanly end the process (please tell me there is, and how to go about it), seeing as it has made its way as far as to the Embassy, making this particular petition that needs to be ended a non-issue, when we can reapply? Quite likely, when we can reapply, we will file for a CR-1 visa, but that's not been decided yet, and it could again be for the K-1.

 

Thank you all. An emotionally drained, but yet hopeful Visa Journey'er,

T

Just email embassy and tell them you are petitioner and want to withdraw your petition. It's pretty simple. They may ask why in future filings you withdraw you can tell them if they ask. That's it.

If you think you just need a few more months you can ask for a extension. It's normally given automatically. You can delay things a little.
