Hi VJers,

My fiance and I have decided to withdraw our K-1 petition, because we are going to stay on another year and 1/2 in Colombia and get married here.

We sent the petition in July 2008, received NOA1, have not yet received our NOA2.

I need to mail the withdrawal ASAP (before our case reaches the consulate) so that he can apply for a visitor visa to the US and finally meet my family now that this process will be longer.

So, where do I send the withdrawal? The California Service Center, or the National Visa Center? It's been 4 months since NOA1....

Additionally, does anyone know if I will receive any sort of reply making the withdrawal "official"?

Thanks a million.....

You still have plenty of time since your petition hasn't been approved yet. It takes a good 2-6 weeks for the case to reach the embassy once the petition is approved.

Good luck with the tourist visa! :thumbs:

I believe that you will need to start the whole process over, under K3 and wait all over again (6-7 months). Hopefully you guys are OK with this! As the other VJr's have commented, your fiancee may have a hard time getting the visitor visa. I would advise that you check with other Columbians in the community to see what to expect.

Best of luck to you

Thanks for the good wishes, and yeah, we're ok with starting over and waiting again. We don't really see it as waiting, we just see it as living in Colombia. :)

We just want more time here and to be able to save up to deal with this economy....
