I will cut to the chase, because of circumstances I do not know if I wish to follow through with the K-1 interview/marraige :( .

Just yesterday she received from the embassy in Bogota, Colombia the documents to put together for the interview/medical/etc. so the question is - What happens if we do not do any further processing with the embassy in Bogota? I imagine that the NOA approval expires (it reads "Valid from 10/20/2010 to 02/19/2011"), should I or do I need to notify the embassy?

Curious if this will have any impacts should, in the future, I wish to apply for another K-1?

Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

Don

If you are sure you want to drop the process and you are entirely sure things cannot be worked out between you, you would do well by formally informing the Bogota consulate of your decision.

Best wishes!

It is best to inform the Embassy. That way, if you do file another K1 in the future, they won't be wondering what happened to the first one.

If you are not sure about not going through with this, then scrounge together some money and fly down to visit her.

I would be in no hurry to do so but if you are not going through with the visa process, you'll want to send a letter to USCIS "withdrawing" your petition and send a copy of that letter to the Consulate (by email is probably ok followed by a paper copy) and let them know you won't be pursuing the visa.

Yes, this will have impact (minimal) in the future in that you will need to ask for a waiver from USCIS if you file another petition within two years.

Please note you never have and never will apply for a K1 visa. You are a US Citizen. You filed a petition for your fiancee who is now allowed to apply for a visa. She cannot successfully do that without an affidavit of support from you.

and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
