Second 129f for same fiance. First was approved but not used.

[JDELAO 0]

Hey everyone,

 

I have a few questions regarding submitting a new 129-f for my fiance.

 

Our first 129-f was approved but we separated before the approval and I was unaware of a form to withdraw the submission.  (in all honesty, I was a bit detached from the situation and ignored it).

The approval expired in June of this year for her to apply for the Visa and interview.

 

Questions are what will I need to do to submit a new 129f?? 

 

Will I have issues because I did not withdraw the initial 129f?   

 

Question 43 asks if I have submitted for another beneficiary?  That would be a NO but Im not sure.

 

Any one who can help regarding this please feel free.

Thanks,

 

Juan

You will declare that you have done a previous petition, even if for same person.

 

Also, yes you need to ensure that the original petition has been withdrawn or canceled properly. There have been stories where a beneficiary went through process up to the interview then backed out... then 2 years later they were petitioned by someone else and find out at the embassy level that the original petition is still active somehow. 

 

If the petition made it to the embassy, you need to get in touch with them and formally withdraw the original petition or verify what state it is in. Is it still active or officially expired.

Contact the embassy, absolutely.   Instead of formally withdrawing,  in the off chance the embassy hasn't returned it and will extend the validity, take advantage of it

Thank you both I will contact the embassy directly and find the status before continuing!  I pray somehow someway it is still active and they work with us!

So I have tried to call the embassy with no luck and have emailed with no response.    I found a link to the CEAC Status and found the Status of "READY".  

 

Is this a good sign??? I will continue to try and contact them but am wondering if we should go ahead and submit the DS160?
