4 months is nothing when it comes to immigration. We did our K1 in almost a year. 

Ours was over a year (hence my timeline) and no my case wasn't easy because of previous denied entry at POE my now husband experienced while attempting to visit me in 2016 with his tourist visa. Filed May 2017 and he got here June 2018 and today makes exactly a month we've been married and just started our AOS 2 weeks ago.

 

So, when she's says I haven't experienced anything difficult or should experience something difficult....BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!

If you dont have anything important to say...then don't say anything. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I am not talking about the so called "facts"

The problem is you don’t seem to understand what’s important.

 

did you read the link to another thread someone posted? The denial letter they got from USCIS seems extremely important to your case.

 

particulalry in your case I would think the following is important - note the first point.

 

“The approval of any petition is automatically terminated when the petitioner dies or files a written withdrawal of the petition before the beneficiary arrives in the United States".

"Because the withdrawal predated the approval of your I-129F petition you are subject to the withdrawal regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(6)."

"Withdrawal may not be retracted."

"Because a withdrawal may not be retracted and may not be refused, USCIS cannot adjudicate a petition that has been withdrawn".

 

Good luck with your case, when this thread gets closed I hope the mod doesn’t put in a “not to be referred to” so that you can come and update us in due course.

“Up against”? It’s not a battle with people out to get you, it’s understanding the process, which in your case means refiling. 

 

Also, you have been asked to read TOS before I believe.

[Going through 5,671]

Honestly, this thread is going around in circles now.

You have been given facts in this thread---not just opinions (although they have been present too), but actual facts as to how your withdrawal letter will be considered, and how any petition/application attached to that withdrawal letter will be dealt with in due course.  Whether you choose to believe people in this thread trying to help you by pointing out these facts, or whether you choose to believe people in this thread are attacking you/being rude/etc. by pointing out these facts is of course your choice.

 

It is no one else's immigration journey, other than your own.  So what happens in due course is largely going to depend on what you choose to do---wait out the withdrawal, try to "appeal or recant or explain" the withdrawal and hope it will somehow be reversed, refile your petition later on, what-have-you.  In the end, no one needs to really convince you of anything because naturally it is your choice in what you do or do not want to believe/take into consideration/follow through with.

 

Shoot the messenger happens quite a lot on VJ.  All you can really do at this point is do what you want to do and hope for the best---but expect the worse.

Here is the thing, just because official rules state "Withdrawal cannot be withdrawn" etc, doesn't mean one should not try. It seems withdrawal hasn't been processed yet, so there is nothing else to do, other then to prepare for contingency by preparing 2nd 129F package and having it all ready to go. That package should also probably include the statement explaining the reason for original withdrawal request. In the mean time, I don't think there is a harm to try to do your darnest to stop withdrawal request from killing that 4 month old 129F. If it works, great, if it doesn't... Well you have a few months of a set back, and $535 in the hole, but that can be overcome.

 

Once again, good luck, and keep us updated please.

I am not an unreasonable person.

Analysis of this thread tells us this is not an accurate statement.

 

Good luck on your journey.

"This is none of your business"

 

"You don't know me"

 

"You're just jumping on a bandwagon"

 

"I don't need your opinion"

 

Either I have fallen off my chair and into the studio recording of a Dr. Phil show, or you seem to have failed to grasp the concept of what a public forum actually is. Firstly. You have brought YOUR problem and situation to relatable strangers for insight and advice. This has been given to you, in multitudes. I also have seen zero rude posts here - aside from yours. Telling someone "karma will get them", because they shared a lengthy, yet extremely informative, post...but it just happened to not be the music to your ears that I'm assuming you came here for.... is rude.

 

You have challenged nearly everyone here who has shared their advice or experience with "I will hear soon enough" - if you are so confident in whatever this "hearing back" will yield for you, then why did you come here in the first place?

 

Bottom line, there are two options at this point that I see, as you HAVE RETRACTED YOUR APPLICATION, whether you believe that or not:

1) You wait, and eventually come face to face with the withdrawal request, and you wind up having to start over again with a new application.

2) You go ahead and accept the withdrawal you have already put into motion, and move forward now with application #2.

 

In my opinion, the one that saves you more time than the other would be the most logical choice. But you will do what you wish to do regardless of the popular insight and outright written rules that you have been given, as that has been made apparent throughout this thread.

 

I am surprised this thread is still even open and active. At any rate - I do wish you the best, whatever path you take. Frustration can manifest in some nasty ways, but everyone deserves to be with the love of their life. I do hope that for you.

 

MIGHT I ADD, as I still cling to my own stubborn wishful thinking even after our own immigration journey - should you carry out what you wish to succeed, and find a loophole that serves you the resolution you are seeking - I implore you to share that. Whether it be here in this thread, or a new one. I imagine there have been, and will be, others in your same predicament who could appreciate and use that information, should it supersede.

i respectfully worry about the adjustment period of the person moving to the USA .... it is a much harder adjustment with much more stress than waiting by your mailbox for 4 months.

 

Even if you are truly in love the new customs, leaving family, new relationship is a hard process for anyone.  Maybe you should "date" long distance until you are 100% sure you don't want to call it off again because your fiancee wants ketchup instead of mustard on hot dogs..... 

 

I am so grateful my wife put up with the challenges and discomfort of the process....... we have always been 100% committed to each other and the process in spite of everything including a travel ban from her country.

 

I wish you luck and happiness with whatever you decide to do but deciding is the most important part!

If my wife were to put KETCHUP on her hot dog, that would be our end too!

You dont need to worry about his adjustment. We are good.. and you have no idea what caused what. Thank you very much.

Based on the posts of other members who have withdrawn in the middle of the visa process, it seems that it’s far easier to just go on with the entire visa process once you file the petition even if you start to change your mind. 

 

Obviously  this doesn’t apply to the Op’s situation as the withdrawal can’t be retracted, it just sadly shows us again that USCIS doesn’t take any withdrawal lightly. Perhaps USCIS presumes that they wasted time, money, and resources processing a file for nothing or that the relationship wasn’t bonafide 

 

I got into several arguments with my fiancée too during the 8.2 months wait for NOA2 but withdrawal was never a question
