Do I notify USCIS?

[P.&S. 3]

I applied for K-1 in August 2021. We ended up deciding that we didn't want to go that route, moved to the UAE and got jobs, got married earlier this year in his country and now are preparing to apply for CR1. My question is, do I need to anything to notify USCIS that I want to withdraw K1 or do I just wait until they see I'm married based on his home country's records? Will doing nothing impact my application when I go to apply for CR1?

You'd want to write to USCIS and withdraw the I-129f petition. Simply state you're withdrawing - providing a reason is entirely optional. That way you have no loose ends. Address to send to is on your I-797 receipt.

@milimeloThanks for your reply. I don't have the original document with me as I'm overseas so I'm not sure which address to use for USCIS in California

Where's the original document?

You can also include the withdrawal letter with the I-130 submission.

@Rocio0010  by original document, do you mean the one USCIS sent with my application #? If so that's in the US and I'm currently living in the UAE.

How would they ‘see you’re married based on his home country’s records’?   That’s not how that works.

 

Withdraw the K-1 by notifying USCIS, and then you can petition him for a visa.

 

You'll also want to read up on maintaining domicile in the US.

@Jorgedig Pakistan has a national registry for marriage so I wasn't sure if they check that. 

 

I will notify USCIS. 

 

As far as maintaining domicile, I work for a US company over here in UAE, still use my US bank account & driver license and will return to the US soon to give birth to our child. But I still look into it more. Thanks
