Long story

[rosal548 0]

This started a few years ago but on Jan of 2005 I filed a I-130 petition for my wife in the Philippines and after a year passed her interview date was in March of 2006. A week before the interview we had an arguement over the phone basically pressuring me to join her religion, I wouldnt budge, then she told me that she wouldnt go to the interview and I thought it was a bluff but apparently she really didnt go and then we had a falling of our marriage but we didnt divorce. After a few months I got a letter from the USCIS stating that the petition was withdrawn.

Last February the wife and I started talking again and have patched things up and now the both of us are certain that we want to be together again. Here is my question, can I reinstate the petition ? do I have to refile again ? does anyone know if the USCIS stores a copy of the pictures and forms that I sent them ? the reason that I ask about the pictures is that I need to send pictures of the wife and I together as supporting evidence and the only pics that I had was the one that I sent to the USCIS, is there a way to request these pics back ? or do they destroy them ? do they keep them ? how long is it stored ? If someone has info on this I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks in advanced !!!!!

I had done the same thing last year with my wife now who decided not to come to US with a fiance visa so I had to withdraw it after few months of sending it to the USCIS. Now after getting married in Feb I reply but this time as a relative. What I had to do is resummit a entire now packet to the USCIS because to my understanding there is nothing you can do to get the old petition and I-129F packet back. Sorry I think you need to find a way to get new evidence for your new I-130 petition. Gud look, Pal!

does anyone know if they even archive any of the pics and documensts ? I just want to be sure that when I fill up the new packet that I have everything identical such as emplyment dates etc. etc. etc....... that way they wont get suspicous and think something out of this.

You should never have sent the originals only copies and you should have kept a copy of all the forms you submitted....

There is no way to get the forms or the evidence back.... you will need to provide new evidence....

You can try sending a I-884 ! It's free and worth a try.
