Withdraw K1 Visa Application?

[david&who? 10]

Okay, so my fiance decided she didn't want to go on with the K1 visa process. I had filed on May 27, 2022. Received I-797C acknowledging receipt of the application May 25, 2022. I sent a notarized "letter of withdrawal" on 10/13/2022 to the California Service Center.   I keep checking MyUscis and there has been no update. Now I know they take forever to do anything but... I tried calling someone but of course could never get through to a human being.  Is there an additional step I need to take?

Will this affect any possible future K1 petitions? I know what you're thinking, don't jump back in.  I have heard of a WAIVER, Is this something I can request at this point?

I have also heard of a 2 year ban on future applications. Any truth to this?

For those of you curious why my K1 went array here you go. My fiances family, once they knew she was engaged to a "millionaire American" began moving in the her apartment with her. First a cousin, then a niece, then the eldest sister.  Now, me being American didn't think this was a good thing.  My fiance was going to need more family support $$$ but I was less than willing to support the entire family. She began getting requests daily from friends and family to send them "load". The three additional family members did not work and offered  no financial aid of support. (They were all broke)

When asked if I could triple her monthly support I replied that the problem was not "inflation" but her lazy-###-bloodsucking family members. (Of course I didn't voice those actual words but but I wanted to) To make a long story short my fiance became cold and within days she said she "just wanted to be friends".

I had warned her that her family members would try to break us up as I knew they were jealous of her for many reasons.

Any answers to the withdrawal process? 2 year moratorium?

P.S. In hindsight I realize that I dodged a lifetime bullet as her family members would have ALWAYS been in need. While I wouldn't mind helping out in an emergency I don't want to support the 18 member family for life.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out. But you saved yourself from more heartache, money and time lost. I would call it a blessing in disguise

No additional steps.

 

Regarding petitioning again and multiple filer waiver, here is what it says on USCIS site;

1. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e) and you previously filed Form I-129Fs on behalf of two or more fiancé(e) beneficiaries; or
2. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e), you have previously had a Form I-129F approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of your previously approved petition.

 

Id say neither of them would apply to you.

Totally valid wish. I’d be careful if you do rekindle your relationship and want to petition her again. Please think about it thoroughly and have a heart to heart where you make it very clear to her about your stance and your boundaries.

Hahaha. Had nothing to do with being a millionaire. We are all millionaires as far as they are concerned.

Bottom line is she allowed it. You need someone stronger and and more devoted to you,than all of the leaches that will try to attach themselves.

When asked if I could triple her monthly support

The fact that you were even asked was your sign to run.

Sorry brother, but if you really think this had to do with family and not her you did not learn the most valuable lesson in this chapter.

Stories like this makes me appreciate my fiancee.

bloodsucking family members

With all the sweet, loving, undemanding available women in the world, you don't need the above, nor is there the slightest reason to accommodate it.

Not going to rekindle that relationship.  That bridge was burned.

Sounds like you're already considering petitioning  another young woman from overseas?  Just keep in mind that in a relationship where such a large socio-economic inequality exists from the get-go,  you might run into similar expectations down the line.  

 

Why not look for someone more local?

Yeah and also... why not take a break and enjoy being on your own for a while? I love my hubby to pieces, but one should be able to just be single and be happy with it.

Because I don't find the local women attractive? I am not running into another relationship. Just wanted to know if I do are there any penalties I face?

I guess we have different experiences then. Anyhow, good luck!

Sure have and I am a multiple filer

 

There is no limit on how many K1's you are allowed, I stand by my statement

 

Show me where USCIS states you have limits on the number of K1's a person can file in a lifetime, I will wait for your response.

Yes, you can file as many as you want. 
DHS and USCIS later on have discretion to think that you have some other interest other than love if you file to adjust multiple people

They have that discretion on any application

Some applications are definitely straightforward, so no discretion to be applied.

What is the point of your comment?

You asked to show you where USCIS states that there is a cap on the K1s you can file. My point had two purposes, the first one to say that while you can technically file however many K1s you want for different people, your files are probably going to be red flagged and sat on a shelf because they will think it's suspicious, and b) you are dealing with DHS and USCIS with K1s, two organizations will eventually review said application and red flag it for sure. It's not just one filter, they are two.

That's why one sends in a petition, so they can adjuctacte it.

Right... ONE petition... Two petitions... But multiple petitions will most definitely cause issues down the road.

You dodged a grenade, not a bullet. Better that you found out sooner rather than later.
