Canceling A Spouse Visa Request

[uniquelyd 3]

Hello Again Everyone,

I'm sorry if I bore you guys with a long story but I have some questions and this has always been the best place to get information. So I am a part of the 2013 Feb filers and as many of you may know, it was an extremely long road for most; however, through out the process of filing (for the second time - another long story... ) and waiting for the approval with any updates from USCIS, my wife said she wanted to end every and left me around late Sept, seemingly because of all the pressure from her family and stress (it was a very bad year for me).

So, at her request and what seemed like an eternity of me trying to convince her to work on things with me, I ended up filing for divorce in Dec (the irony here being I got a letter from USICS saying that everything was approved and we should be getting an additional letter for a VISA interview date the exact same day I came from the court house - I really hate that day - Oh and that letter never came by the way, nor did I follow up). After all the pain, my divorce was finalized in March.

Last night, I received a call from my ex wife saying she applied for a student visa and was just denied because they still have her listed in the system as pending a Spouse/Fiancee visa. She said that they didn't believe her when she said she was divorced and that she can re-interview in a couple of weeks but she is afraid that the information they currently on file will still prevent her from getting the visa and I'm thinking the same.

So here is my question, what can I do, if anything, to help her fix this. Now for those of you who may be thinking that I should not be doing anything at all and that I don't owe her any favors; I am completely aware how much the bleeding still has not stopped. Nevertheless, I loved her in a way that will never be explainable to any man(woman); and given that her rejection is in part to our former life, I feel somewhat obligated to just be a good person and do the right thing.

I know calling USCIS is should probably be the first step but I thought I would check here first just in case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am sorry to hear about your story. I am sure you were devastated with all the things you had to go through. It is very admirable you are trying to help your ex-wife and hold no grudges between the two of you :-)

So I think you should read the link below regarding properly withdrawing a petition:

http://www.ehow.com/how_8600149_withdraw-i130-petition.html

Also I found this on the DOS websites:

"An applicant or petitioner may withdraw an application or petition at

any time until a decision is issued by the Service or, in the case of

an approved petition, until the person is admitted or granted

adjustment or change of status, based on the petition. However, a

withdrawal may not be retracted. An applicant who wishes to withdraw a

visa petition (Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative) should write a

letter to the BCIS office where the petition was filed. The letter

should include the beneficiary's name, date and country of birth, and

A-number or Receipt -number, the date petition was filed, reason for

withdrawing the petition and the petitioner's name, signature and

address. "

If I was you I would also schedule an infopass and talk to someone locally:

Best of luck to you!

Check out this situation. Very similar but from the other side.
