Personally, I would send a withdrawal letter along with the I-130 as @geowrian suggested......just to make sure all the dots are connected....just my opinion.

Hello,

 

My fiancee K1 was approved from USCIS but refused from consulate  on 221g and they returned to USCIS for reconsideration. I don't think they will revert me back soon, therefore I am getting married and filing for CR1 I-130. So my question is, do I need to send withdrawal letter for k1 to USCIS before I file I-130? what should I write on I-130 question:  Have you ever previously filed petition for this beneficiary or any other alien result section? -- Its Approved/Withdrawal; refused, Denied, refused on 221g???  Please help.

Based on question CO asked I think its refused because of lack of Bonafide relation.

Since it was because of lack of bonafide relationship between you both which is the most commonest reasons for K1 denials.

 

Go to the beneficiary's home country,get married and file the cr1 and during this process,try to go back home to visit the beneficiary. 

 

In our case,we didnt withdraw the K1 petition,rather we allowed it to expire then went through the CR1 route and by his grace today,I'm in the US with my husband. 

 

Goodluck to you both on this long and tough journey.
