Hi all, me nd my fiancé are having some difficulties at the moment and decided to not continue at this time with our application until things are better. We have been approved for our 129f, I’ve had my medical and the next stage would be for me to have my interview at the London embassy. They sent me a letter that we have 60 days to inform them if we want to continue with the process. My question is, if we stop at this point and then decide in a couple months to put in a new application would we need to wait a period of time or will it even be considered if we’ve not continued with this first process? I’ve not booked my interview yet and not sure if their timeframe would be extended?

You could ask the consulate to extend your NOA2, I believe they can do this twice (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) which buys you an extra 8 months. You would need to re-do the medical. You won't need to wait a period of time to apply again if you abandon it, but it's best to let the consulate know that you are discontinuing the K1 visa if you choose to do that.

Thankyou. Don’t suppose you know how long that period of time is? I can’t find any information about it.

If you ask them to extend it they give you another 4 months.

I am sorry that you & your fiancé are having some problems.  The two of you have gone through a challenging journey together & managed to get approved through USCIS.  It depends on what the problems are & the severity.  It doesn't sound as though you are ready to split up for good.  Communication is key to a successful relationship.  My suggestion is to take the advice Ethan & Shannon gave you.  Get extension on your NOA2.  I believe 4 months will give you guys a chance to cool down & re-consider the issues you are having & maybe you will be able to resolve them.  From the way I understand things here on VJ, you can get another extension also after that.  Think about what brought the 2 of you together & the good qualities you find in each other.  Best wishes to you with hugs.

I think you are using good judgement here. There was a couple here on VJ recently who had an argument.  In haste, she sent an email to the embassy to withdraw the I-129f.  Within an hour, they decided that the withdrawal was a mistake. She then sent another email in an attempt to explain the "mistake". That action caused them a great deal confusion as to what actions the embassy took.  Remember that if you officially withdraw at some point, you will have to start from the beginning.  I have read that withdrawals can not be retracted.  My advice is to think carefully about what you want to do in the future....good luck.
