our question was , how to withdraw the withdrawal now? dont you think the uscis will have a fave with 😖😣 because after receiving the NOa2 its too late for them to accept the withdrawal 😫

tHankYou soo Much ☺️

I hope not because that will be unfortunate. Come to think of it maybe since they maybe have not received your withdrawal that's y they have issued the approval you can maybe call uscis and request for cancellation of your withdrawal. I suggest you call them first thing Monday morning and as they said here before 11am US time so you can get thru. Good luck I hope you will have a favorable outcome.

Have him call again and ask how will this affect you guys in the long wrong and can he send in something that request to pull the request or is there anything that he can get like an email from the rep or something saying that things are moving forward with no interference of the withdrawal letter. 

 

If you want to call have him give you the number or go to USCIS website and get the number.

i ask him to call again. coz badly USCIs only entertain petitioners.. thats what the Csr said when i called 😣

@Estibaliz thats what i told my F too. i think right now, we really need to be sure first before making another move.. ive told him to call uscis  just like what youve said earlier,, but he's too i dnt know i cant say the right words. that he even had me schedule for a consultation with an immigration lawyer. and then answeres turns out this.. 😔 

now we'll just wait what the USCIS can say (atleast theyre official) 

I'm not so sure your lawyer is well informed.  Did you post about this in the main forum yet?  There are people with years of immigration experience and law experience on VJ.  I would exhaust all options before planning ahead with a spousal visa.  Because that is going to be another year.

I don't believe you can contact them being a foreign national without legal immigrant status. It's up to your Fiancé to do so which it appears he has.

more than likely the agent noted your file because she recommended continuing the process. I would be prepared to overwhelm them with proof of relationship at embassy stage if it makes it that far. 

Its not dead till it's dead!

 

Good luck you two

oh and no more knee jerk reactions ok.

😄😄 with the knee jerk. coz really we are being jerk with this application. my gash..

Haha no no not that one.

 

According too USCIS website

 

Sec 20.4 Withdrawal of Petition 

 

Petitioner may voluntarily withdraw petition PRIOR to adjudication....

 

After approval: A petition can be withdrawn by submitting a notarized letter of withdrawal with names, birthdays, NVC case number etc to NVC and the Embassy/Consulate of country in question . Letter must also contain reason for withdrawal.

yeah yeah. i know. just kidding aside.. 

 

ok. so for the broad explanation. my F sent the withdrawal letter before the Noa2. thats 7/25.. the approval date is 7/28.. and also he only had it handwritten.. and without reason and also without notarized.. because when he ask the lawyer they said, again no need to notarize it. 😖

Ok...If petition was approved or started adjudicating your case before they received the withdraw letter, then it is ignored by USCIS. null and void.

Once it has been approved, it is now jurisdiction of NVC; therefore a notorized withdraw letter with reason for withdraw, must be mailed to NVC and Embassy. So the CSR telling your F no big deal just continue the process is accurate. USCIS has to receive a letter of withdraw from NVC to act on it because your petition was already approved.

In other words; according to their own website and three other sources I found......Congrats on your NOA2!!

That's why I mentioned over-whelming them with proof of relationship, plus if your F will not be present at interview, then He should prepare a statement as to reason for withdraw and you should have that with you at interview in case it comes up. also since you mentioned he has vacation coming up in October (or he did ) it might be wise to time that around your interview due to the extenuating circumstances involved here.

 

Just remember: Philippines is averaging 10 days from interview until visa in hand.

Don't forget OFW's must get police clearances from every country you have lived in for 6 months or more. some take way too long so don't delay  God Bless you both and good luck
