Withdraw request for K1

[Max2 0]

Do I need to file and receive approval on a K1 visa that was approved, but later expired (expired on 09/01/2006) or just the fact that it was expired it means that nothing more needs to be done about it?

Thanks,

Max.

Max,

Please clarify - are you asking about a K1 visa or about the I-129f petition that precedes the visa application?

I am a bit confused, did you break up with fiancee and want to withdraw the petition even after it has expired, you may have to contact the embassy and have it returned to USCIS.

Please update your profile, the details sometimes help with unclear questions.

Sorry Yodrak for the misunderstanding.

It was the approval of the I129F petition. In other words, I filed for my first K1 visa back on Feb 2006, by May 2006 I received its approval. However, by then my relationship with her had already been terminated. The approval I received was only valid from May 2006 through Sept 1st of 2006 (based on what it said on the approval letter). I took no further action about that and since it had an expiration date on it (Sept 1st of 2006) I figured it is permanently dead. What I would like to know is that if I should file for "request to withdraw" or anything else?

Thanks in advance,

Max.

YuAndDan,

Once again sorry for not making it very clear to begin with. I just added additional information in order to make this more clear. Please let me know if I should clarify further.

Thanks in advance,

Max.

Max,

I would have been good to have written to the USCISto withdraw the petition when you terminated the relationship.

If you're now considering filing another I-129F application for another fiancee, I'm not sure, but I think you want to send a letter to USCIS officially withdrawing the previous application. Maybe someone with more info can answer this for you, but if you're looking at filing a new petition, you want to make sure you document your previous petition's withdrawal, or permanent "closing".

While the petition approval was only for four months the petition would have maintained a life after approval. It most likely transited to NVC and then was passed on to the consulate of the country of the beneficiary. The consulate would have sent out the application materials to the beneficiary. At which time the beneficaiary could have applied for the visa. While incredibly unlikely, a visa could have been issued....

Did you receive any communication about the petition other than the original approval notice?

Paula,

That is exactly the situation. With one exception, and that is I have already filed for the second one back in March of 2007, and a few days back I received a "Notice of Intent to Deny" since I have already had more that one Fiancé visa approved over the last 2 years. But I need to know what I can do at this point to make things right. Therefore, the issues might be two fold:

1) To write a request for waiver explaining my circumstances and why I should be granted a waiver to proceed with the second application.

2) The fact that my first application was not withdrawn properly.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,

Max.

Also, once I got the approval I contact an immigration lawyer that my family has known for over 30 years and he was the one suggested not to do anything about it and simply let it expire. When I called him today, he told me that he is simply not familiar with new laws anymore. In other words, I got screwed over getting a bad advice!

I just saw that you posted your question in the IMBRA Special Topics forum, where I was about to direct you. Kitkat answered your question there. Read the reply, its quite informative and tells you what you need to do. In the meantime, you should still get in touch w/ USCIS through their 1800 number and inquire about the process to withdraw your previous petition. You would probably need to have proof that you withdrew your previous petition to mail with this letter response to your NOID.

Good luck,

IMO, #2 would have been a "nice to have" but is less important in the short term than #1. You have a "Notice on Intent" that you need to deal with post haste. So, YES submit a letter of explanation regarding the facts and circumstances about the first petition and close your disertation by saying "I hereby request a waiver"..... or something to that effect....

Thanks again Paula,

I have already contact the USCIS and set up and appointment to go to the local office this coming Wednesday.

On a separate topic, does anyone happen to know, what a request for withdraw looks like and how long does it take for it be processed?

I did one back in 2004. I simply stated that USCIS case number LINxxxxxxxxx should be closed immediately with no further action. Very short and sweet. I received official notice within a couple of weeks but my case file was current and not "stale" as yours appears to be.
