Question about k-1 visa petition

Here is my story...

When I filed my first i-129f petition, I had a lawyer who persisted on getting an engagement certificate, supposedly it would make the case stronger. There are no engagement certificates at my fiance's country, so he got a marriage certificate at a stationery and crossed out all the marriage parts and input engagement. It was approved by USCIS but revoked by the consulate at Islamabad, stating that the beneficiary and the petitioner (which is I) are now married. However, we were not married and that certificate wasn't even registered. It got sent back to USCIS with the reason and is now at USCIS. Our relationship fell apart, so we didn't continue with that petition. This happened a year ago. The petition was revoked in May 2008

I filed a second i-129f petition for a different person (with a different laywer) and it is approved by the USCIS and is at NVC undergoing additional processing. My question here is, will the consulate in Islamabad revoke this petition because of the first petition? My new lawyer wrote that I stated under oath i was never married to my former fiance and do not wish to pursue that petion no more as our relationship fell apart. And my new lawyer says that the petition is now dismissed.

Would the consulate of Islamabad hold up the case as well? Please let me know for those of you who are familiar with the procedures of the consulate in Islamabad or how strict they are.

My fiance knows about my former fiance and why our relationship fell apart.

For those of you who are familiar with how the consulate at Islamabad is, please help me out in giving advice, thank you

As far as my understanding goes, each petition/case is treated separately. You shouldn't have any trouble, but just be prepared to answer any questions (and show proof...) if they are asked down the line. Check the guides here or ask on the forum before you let a lawyer tell you something that doesn't sound right. The guide is usually right!!! Lol make that ALWAYS right! :)

thank you naito, you are right ... each case is treated separately... but then again some CO's can really be a strict detective... i just hope everythin goes well during the interview. We have enough evidence for bona fide relationship and so forth. And if i knew about vj, trust me I would have not hired a lawyer lol

Nana,

You'll probably get better advice in the Asia: South subforum. That's where petitioners with beneficiaries in Pakistan hang out. This subforum is mostly the orient and pacific islands. :thumbs:
