Darnell and others,

Is the NOA-1 referred to, the same as on Form I-797C? If so, the address there is in Lee's Summit, MO. PO Box 648003. This is a different address than the USCIS guy gave me over the phone (which was in Dallas, TX) but I could send there as well if that's the NOA1 address some of you mentioned.

Thanks so much!

I did send a letter but without the photocopy of NOA-1 or I-797 because I have neither.

But where to send to? I don't have that so I sent to addresses in Dallas, Chicago, Vermont and Missouri.

I am wondering if I will ever even know if these things were received or not? It's very strange they don't even let you know...

The letter said:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am requesting the official withdrawal of my Affidavit of Support form I-864. The receipt number for the pending I-485 case is xxxxx The reason for this withdrawal is our separation and pending divorce.

The applicant's name (for the I-485 case):xxxxxx

Date of Birth:xxxxx

Original Petitioner's name (for the I-129f) xxxx

Date of Birth: xxxx

Her A-number A# xxxxx

Her Social Security # is xxxx

I respectfully request a confirmation that my support has been withdrawn.

Thanks for your help. I had a huge file with everything carefully sorted. Unfortunately, she took it during the breakup. I have her A#, her social security number and that's about it. So unfortunately most of those addresses, receipt #s etc etc, I have no clue what they are. Isn't there an easier way to simply withdraw the thing. Doesn't seem like it should be so difficult. I guess it's the Infopass thing...I can try again but they didn't seem to have any clue, I didn't see any supervisors there and they certainly didn't mention any. They just said to send it to Dallas as I have done.

Yeah that is unclear as she took all the paperwork with her. I went through Infopass to the local office and no one could help me accept anything they said. Is it true that there is no confirmation that an I-865 is withdrawn. In other words, you will never know if it has or hasnt?

Yeah but how do you know that? Even the lawyer wasn't sure...

This was before the holidays actually..took a couple weeks to get back to my via return to sender. I also send via certified and uncertified to make sure. What is an issuing consular?

I'm trying to withdraw an I-864 as soon as possible (long story, in another thread) and am finding the process infuriating. I called up USCIS and a nice man over the phone assured me all would be well and gave this address to send to:

USCIS

Texas Service Center

4141 St. Augustine Rd.

Dallas, TX 75277

I sent three certified copies here and to other addresses in Vermont, Chicago and Missouri just to be safe. All the ones to Texas were returned. It looks like he gave me the wrong zip code? (75227). I don't really understand why the letters were returned and not just sent on to the right one. I also don't know what address they are supposed to go to. Even a lawyer I spoke with could not tell if they should go to Texas, Vermont etc.

In addition, I made an appointment with Infopass at the counter, they were no help. They could not tell me either or record me having withdrawn the I-864.

Even worse, they said I will never know if it was officially withdrawn or not. That the government does even LET YOU KNOW. Is this really possible?

At this point, I am at a complete loss. Where do I sent the letter withdrawing the I-864. I will send it to as many places as needed but the whole system is so confusing I have no idea!

No, I'm still thinking over what to do...it's very sad for me, I just want to know all the options.

Yes, the green card was not issued yet. We did get a notice that the paperwork was received maybe a month back and she received the work permit. She has all the paperwork so I'm a bit fuzzy on this but I think there was to be some sort of joint interview coming up. So we are definitely in the in between position, after the Adjustment of Status was received (approved?) and before the green card was issued.

Oh I see...no, I don't think we even ever had a yelling argument. We had a loving relationship. I don't think she would ever try to claim that but if she did, like there is nothing that could be presented...I have ongoing chat sessions all through our relationship to the last day which show a loving relationship.

Sorry I don't know what a VAWA is? Is it true that the I-864 not in effect is there is no green card? I was told by a lawyer on JustAnswers that it is in force, even after a divorce and that I could pay as much as 20K per year.

Hi,

I searched and searched for a similar topic before posting a new one. Hopefully this is in the right place.

My wife came over from the Philippines on a fiance visa, we were married soon after. The relationship was good but we had some big problems we could not resolve. She has left the house. This was not at all a scam marriage, it was a loving relationship. We have taken a break and I'd like her to go home so we can have some time to think. She feels very hurt and I think is worried that if we are not together she will have to leave the country. She does not want to leave the country and I don't blame her, but I don't believe she can stay without her being with me (not sure about this?) We never had any shouting matches or big arguments, just silent type arguments where we were both upset and crying.

I'd like to know a couple things. First of all, can she potentially stay in the country if were are separated? I guess I wouldn't mind if she did, although I think it would be better for her and for me if she went home. I don't really want to force her to go home or to play hardball. She is a good person and she is hurt right now. Secondly, what are my obligations? I have signed the I-864. If we are divorced or separated permanently, I don't want to have to pay for her to stay here. I don't have anywhere near enough money to pay her way here.

Some additional info. We had applied for the Adjustment of Status and she was called in for some kind of initial interview (one where I was not needed). She received her work permit and has a SSN and had started working. However, she definitely does not have a green card and I believe there may have been another interview coming up where I would be asked to attend? (I'm sorry I should know more about the process but we were just kind of taking things step by step when it all went wrong)

I'd also like to repeat this was in no way a scam marriage on either side. We are in love but just not very compatible. If anyone can tell me the path forward for K1 Visa people who are separated, that would be helpful to me. I do not want to be responsible for her if she stayed here. I want to be as helpful as I can to her no matter what happens but I want to make sure I am in compliance with what I am supposed to do in the eyes of the US government.

It is very sad that it has come to this. I have found that K1 Visa marriages are very hard. In a regular relationship, you get to date and test things and try things out. In this kind of marriage, you take this enormous leap of faith that you'll get all that right and you hope and pray. In our case, the love was there but when we made that leap it did not turn out right. My respect goes out to all who have made it work.

Thanks!
