then i REALLY dont see the problem LOL

My concern was just to make sure that a canceled I129 won’t affect his entries as a tourist - I wasn’t sure if that would raise red flags.

Our plans changed after pregnancy - we wanted to live in the US that’s why I had applied, now we’ll mostly be in Brazil but want to make sure we can come visit here whenever - that was my only concern, that he can come and see his daughter if I choose to spend some time here and he’s in Brazil.

I just want to do things the right now, the K1 made sense when we were just planning marriage and no baby to think of.
 

thank you guys!!!

I'm still mindboggled at this, but it is your decision. 

 

Anyway, just know it'll be a mountainous task to get a tourist visa with a fiance and US born child in the US.

I don’t know.. maybe I’m not thinking clearly, but I was under the impression that once he comes in with his K1, we would have to remain in the US until he gets his green card, and that could take months and months, correct? We may not be able to spend that much time here if we are living, working and raising our baby in Brazil. It might just not be possible with the life we’ve chosen.

I’m a little stressed because if I knew this would happen I would’ve never applied for it  we want to be able to come and visit, I’m just torn since I have a life in both countries and don’t want to create issues for his future entries/visits to the US if we choose to not live here… 

Thank you!

I too don't understand OP's reasoning here on why they would withdraw because they're pregnant. The reverse, IMHO, should be the logical reasoning. 

Because the plan before pregnancy was to live together in the US. We want to have a baby close to our family in Brazil and moving here won’t be the best for us - we don’t want to risk getting the visa and then having to pick up and come to the US with a newborn to get married and get the process going. We might never need him to become a citizen, we may be just fine with just visiting a couple of times a year - that’s why I want to make sure the withdrawal won’t affect future visits or visa renewals.

Hi! I am a Brazilian/US citizen - reside in the US currently. Back in January I sent in the I129F application for my fiancé. We have received the receipt confirmation. Problem is now, we have become pregnant and our plans have drastically changed. We decided it will be best for him to remain in Brazil to continue business there and postpone the marriage and move to a few years when our baby is a little more grown and we have a better situation. 

I want to know the following:

If I withdraw my petition now, before he goes through the visa process - 

1. Will he have a hard time using his current tourist visa to enter the US and visit? (He has 3 years left on it)

2. When he goes to renew his tourist visa, will there be any issues due to the withdrawal?

3. If we choose to live in Brazil and get married there, will there be a problem applying for him later?

4. If we choose to come back to US, will I have an issue redoing the I129F and bringing him in on a K1 to get married here?

Thank you so much!!! I'm kinda freaking out and don't want to create issues for the future, but right now we don't see the possibility of going through the entire process of K1 and marriage while trying to figure a life out in another country -at this moment he has no intentions of coming here for marriage or to reside, just to visit.

Thank you!
