Do you have to cancel previous forms?

[VeryConfused. 0]

I already filed the i-130 with my dad as the petitioner as he's a US citizen, but a lack of research meant that although the form was sent back approved.. we KNOW that we cannot complete it because my dads domicile isnt within the US it's here in the UK.

I'm 18 also so, dont qualify for anything else as far as im aware.

However my US boyfriend will do anything to allow us to be together so he's asked me to marry him etc. and we were thinking about filing a k1, or whatever else..

but the point is, does this mean i have to let them know that my previously filed i-130 is no longer any use to me, and like cancel it?

Or can i just simply apply on the grounds of another form? ( if the requirements are met obvs. )

so to sum it up..

Do I need to cancel the previous form sent before I start on a new one..with a completely different petitioner..

and will the fact that ive already had an i-130 sent in ruin my chances of being approved on another one?..thanks

There is nothing you would do regarding the other petition, it would be the petitioner that would withdraw it. Since your father does not have a US domicile, the file would go no further than the NVC as they would see he does not have a US domicile and would require him to obtain one or show evidence of intent to re-establish one before processing the file further. The NVC will consider that petition abandoned if there is no contact for 1 year from the date of last contact with either the petitioner or beneficiary.

Having this I-130 sent in on your behalf will not ruin your chances of being approved for a fiancee or spousal visa.

Okay thanks and do you know what the petitioner ie. my dad would have to do to withdrawal the i130 petition?

Or would it not really matter wether he did anything about it or not, it can be left as it is and a k1 can still be filed instead of that?

If your father wanted to formally withdraw the petition, he would have to send a signed written statement explaining the reason to the NVC. If he does nothing, then the NVC would return the petition to USCIS with a recommendation to withdraw approval based on abandonment or they will do nothing and let the file gather dust while they work on active files.
