How to cancel after NOA2

[Biabarida 7]

Hello. We received our NOA2 almost a year ago. A lot changed in the 250 days we were waiting, and we moved to Spain to have a baby.

 

We figured we would wait a year to see if we could make a successful life in Spain, and we did. We are now interested in canceling the visa process in a way that wouldn't prejudice my wife against doing Direct Consular Filing in the future. Any help would be great. Her NOA2 is one year old at the end of November.

I'm not sure DCF is still an option in Madrid. Good luck)

Was never an option without extenuating circumstances

Do you have extenuating circumstances?

Hello, I was under the impression that after establishing residency in Spain with my wife for over 2 years my wife can apply for residency through the Spanish embassy....

 

But that's not really my question. I would like to know how to stop the visa process that is now in motion without prejudicing a future visa application.

Which petition?  If i130, it will be returned to NVC and put in storage until you are ready

 

DCF opportunities have changed dramatically over the past years and does not apply to you since you have an approved petition as you will simply restart the consulate process

It is the I130. We finished up to NOA2. I was under the impression that in order to extend we need to call someone or submit some paperwork....

If it is at the consulate,  contact them and explain your situation and future plans.   No prejudice will result.   You do NOT want to cancel the approval as that will cause you to have to start at the beginning.  If at NVC you contact them

Complete the NVC process.   It will get sent to the consulate.   If you don't complete at the consulate within a year it will go back to the NVC to store.  You can also contact the consulate and ask them to hold it.  

 

DCF was never available in Spain other then with extenuating circumstances.

Thank you for your advice everyone. If I understand correctly, since I have the NOA2 the NVC has received the I130 Application. If we stop at this step does it prejudice my wife for any potential future visa applications? We don't want to live in the US as of now, but my son is a US citizen and I am too. I don't want there to be any problems in the future. I'm assuming that it is my ignorance that is why I don't understand what to do, but I also don't want to continue with the NVC process and pay $$$$ only to not continue. I very much appreciate the advice and am looking for the best option as to how to move forward.

No prejudice will result.   Life priorities change
