What Happens To Cancelled Petitions?

[LnS 1]

Hi, I sent in a K-1 petition back in May 2010 but a month or so later cancelled it. I received a letter confirming my cancellation from the USCIS. What i'm curious to know is what happens to my petition after it's cancelled? Do they keep it for their records or throw it out?

Thanks

My best guess and I mean Guess would be: Due to your signed document of cancelation and a letter from USCIS that the Petition is Null and Void. That paperwork will be disguarded and trashed. However, it will be still on the records about a prior 129-F was filed in your name.

If this is about wanting to re-open the case that is not posible, you would have to start again.

I believe they keep all of them, to refer back to should you petition somewhere else at some stage.

The federal government does not shred any documents, eveything is put on micro-film,kept current for 7 years. Then they are filed as achived.

Thanks, that's the information I was looking for. I can't imagine how much space it take to store all the documents our government receives!
