Hello every one... just wanted to let you guys know, that I am back on this journey (AGAIN) Some of you might remember me, some may not either way, I am getting ready to submit the I-130 and I am excited yet anxious b/c I kind of remember this process a little too well.

Quick story...

a few yrs ago I filed a k-1 visa, we went to the interview, was approved BUT placed on AP for quite sometime. During the process, we drifted apart, things happened, so I withdrew the visa. He never came to the states.

I met my (now) husband, and short story, 5 visits and 1 year later we got married. I am getting ready to submit my petition, BUT out of curiosity, I looked up my k1 visa case through the CEAC website and it still showed AP!! I've call DOS and USCIS (since the embassy told me that the case was being sent back) and they keep redirecting me to an auto response email. It's been a LONG time since I sent the withdrawal letter to the embassy. I thought by now it should say case closed or something down those lines. Any who, what should I do? Should i just submit the new petition? I will enclose all the emails that was sent to the embassy when they asked me to send a letter of withdrawal via email.

Any information will be appreciated !! Thank you guys!

Denise

Contact USCIS to find out the ultimate fate of the prior K1 petition. The CEAC site is not tied to USCIS.

I wish I had some good advice for you. I am in a VERY similar situation myself except when I filed for the K1 the beneficiary did not go to the interview. One thing you can try, although I had to call 3 times in order to accomplish it, is to call USCIS and file a service request to withdraw the petition. I sent letters everywhere! So I completely understand where you are at.

Congratulations on your marriage, and good luck with this journey!!!

You can also try an INFO Pass, get an appointment and talk to someone in person. Just my two cents. Hope everything works out for you.

Oh wow, do you think that it would matter that my petition is for someone else? I mean, I cancelled the K1 visa and it has been a year since then. I know that I am entitled to petition for anyone I want (as long as I meet the requirements of course), I was just curious as to why it still say "AP"?

Thanks for your input, good luck on your journey!
