Want to file new I-129F but never withdrew last one

[TeaHallo 0]

Hello - I know it might be something I should just call USCIS about, but I thought I'd try here first. 

In July 2020 I sent in an I-129F for my now ex-husband and it was approved in February 2021. He was Russian and there were issues with cases even getting sent to any embassies at that time, so we decided to just get married in Russia and I moved there. I never sent anything to USCIS, NVC or the consulate/embassy withdrawing my approved petition. Well...now four years later I find myself in another relationship with a man from Norway and we were thinking about trying the K1. I saw on the application that you have to put your old case number and when you filed, and I did find this online through my old USCIS account, but the status still says approved. Do I still need to contact USCIS to withdraw the petition? I figured after four years it would have just expired and been removed from the system. 🫣

Thanks!

Well, the moment you married your Russian fiance, I-129F was void.

Did you divorce him properly? Do you have a divorce decree?

 

Yes, you have to list the case.

I see. So, it won't cause issues that on the USCIS website it still shows as "Approved"? Yes, we got divorced in Russia and I got a notarized translation of the divorce certificate as well.

Thank you for your response!

No it shouldn't cause issues.

It generally doesn't need to be notarized unless your embassy specifically requires it.  But on the other hand,  the translation must be certified that it is a true translation.
