You can do this, but you will need to pay the fees again and start over- depending on how far into the process you are, it may not be faster either.

Why cancel your first petition. Why can't you simply request the USCIS Service Center working on your petition to transfer your records to the US Embassy in Manila (assuming that you're qualified to do a DCF there) so that you don't lose your priority date?

CAN MY HUSBAND WITHDRAW MY PETITION FROM THE USCIS AND REFILE IT BACK HERE IN THE US CONSULATE IN MANILA? CUZ I JUST FOUND OUT THE WAITING IS SHORTER CUZ I HAD OTHER FRIENDS FILED THEIRS AT THE CONSULATE AND IT WAS FAST..

No need to withdraw it with USCIS in the USA.

Simply file the I-130 again , paying fees again, to the USCIS office in Manila.

Don't let this concept of 'withdrawing before refiling' stop you - it simply isn't needed.

DCF is 'almost immediate' in Manila -

so this concept of 'losing one's priority date' is specious.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
