Abandoning K1 process during AoS

[howthelightgetsin 1]

Hi, 

 

Me and my fiancee are awaiting my visa interview in London which is currently scheduled for August (though who knows if that'll go ahead). In the meantime, I hastily threw in an application for funding to take up an academic position in Montreal. We won't find out about the position in Montreal until February at the earliest in all likelihood (for all kinds of obscure reasons!) but I think I have a decent chance.  

 

If successful in getting that job, there's a good chance I'll be in the US by then if the K1 process goes ahead, but it's unlikely the AoS process will have run its course.

 

Long story short, does anyone have a sense of whether abandoning the K1 process (in order to take up residency in Quebec) would harm future chances at a K1/K3? Like, do you get blacklisted? No abuse of the process would have taken place, just a change of plans! Any advice appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 
HTLGI

No blacklist for change of life plans.  

 

P.S.  K3 is no longer a feasible option

You can always abandon it and reapply in the future. Have you thought about getting married instead/file CR1?? When you decide to live in the US you wouldn't have to go through adjustment of status and can work and leave the US without waiting 6+ months. It seems like a better option in your case.
