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2) The fact that my first application was not withdrawn properly.

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....

I have already written the letter for request for waiver and it is ready to go. I the USCIS and set up and appointment to go to the local office this coming Wednesday. I will wait to see what they have to say about this, but at the mean time, on what bases do you say that the second one is a "nice to have"?

It would be nice to have or know that the original petition was officially closed... that is what I meant.

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?

Max.

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.

Paula,

What is the LIN#? All I see on my letter of approval is Petitioner A#, Beneficiary A# and the receipt WAC#.

Okay. Thanks.

However it would be good to know what exactly USCIS requires me to do or have. In other words, if it is required then I must have it, if it is a good to have, then it should not be a big problem.

Max.

The requirement for sure is for your own peace of mind. I doubt it is required if the case was closed due to inactivity. However, if in the chance it is somehow still active then you may want to simply cover your bases.

Fwaguy,

Does the letter needs to be notarized? I mean anyone with the right amount of information can send a letter to USCIS and ask for a complete termination of a visa. Since I scheduled a meeting with the local immigration office, I would like to have the letter complete ready to be filed if they require me to do so.

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".

-P

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.

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,

-P

Paula,

I can not find the answer provided by KitKat. Would you please provide me a link to the answer you are referring to?

Thanks,

Max.

Neither was mine.

I doubt anyone would be crazy enough to maliciously send a withdrawal letter. If someone is vengeful enough to risk forging a signature to the Department of Homeland Security, ya probably need to hide! :ph34r:
