No.  It will not make it faster.

No, will not make it faster.  You need to do request in writting to withdraw the K1 petiton first.

You would just start over, so it will definitely not make things move faster.

 

From your previous topics, it looks like your petitioner has a pretty serious criminal background. My guess is that this is what is causing things to go slowly in your case. You would face the same kind of issues if you apply for a spousal visa.

Was this an update to your file that it had been denied? Or was it for someone else?

Your post history shows you are very impatient. K1 nor spousal are quick processes. If you withdraw the K1 and go spousal route, you will have wasted a year. Are you sure you want to do that?

 

You will experience a longer processing time due to your petitioner having very serious criminal charges. Your case is not DIY in my opinion. If you decide to go spousal, you should procure a lawyer.

I think OP was screenshotting other cases, and complaining about how they were adjudicated much quicker than theirs.

Longer processing time or no approval at all.  I am a little concerned about the OP after reading about those records.  Probably should take time to reflect on whether it is wise to be involved with someone like that.

Did you get married?

Moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures.

Terminology is important.  The OP is in the 129F petition process.  No K-1 visa application is involved yet.

[Dashinka 25,915]

You cannot file an I130 until you are actually legally married.  If that is not yet the case, then this will further delay things.  If you are already legally married, then the I129F questions are moot as that path is no longer open.

 

Good Luck!
