Welp. Live and Learn. Last year's model was attractive but when I opened the hood, it was full of crazy. So, I'm looking for something newer, faster and more reliable. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. 🙄

if it has been less than a year it would be advisable to withdraw the old petition in writing.

It's been about 6 months but I'd be shocked if I started the process again before a year has passed given the current state of the world.  For some reason, I've always been under the impression that if I did want to try for a K-1 again, the fact that I went through the process and backed out would be held against me. And that would make the process harder to get approved.  Am I wrong? Hopefully, I am.

Thanks!

Hello.

My former fiance and I got our K-1 approved and the Visa issued in January. Long story short, we broke up before she used the visa.  Didn't do anything because several users on here said to just let it expire. 

How much trouble am I going to have if I decided to go through the process of getting another K-1 for a new and improved fiance? It's not going to be an issue for a while.  But, what am I looking at if I try again?  Will I get it? Will it be way harder? 

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can provide.

Hello.  My Filipina fiancé and I are working through the K-1 process.  I received a message from the NVC on 8/6 saying that they were forwarding our petition to the embassy in Manila.  It also says that the consulate will contact me when they are ready to process the petition. 

I'm a little confused about a couple of items.  First, should it take this long for them to contact me to proceed?  It's been almost 6 weeks.  I sort of thought it didn't usually take this long.  Should I contact them directly to see what's up or is that timeframe not unusual and I should just continue to wait?  How will they contact me?  Email?  Snail mail?  Smoke signal?

Second, while we're waiting, should my fiancé be doing anything?  Can she schedule anything or should we wait to hear from the consulate since we don't know the schedule yet?  

I just thought we would be hitting the homestretch by now and instead, we're idling.  Am I being impatient or should I be doing something to get things back on track?

I really appreciate any info experienced K-1'ers can provide.

Thanks!
