Once I visited a lawyers office that handles immigration, I saw piles of papers of forms and documents all scattered and clearly visible with confidential information and photos on the desk most likely from many clients. After seeing that I never trust going to a lawyer unless I can't do it myself. Luckily mine was do-able and I did it myself. It's lots of gathering of information and documentation, writing letters and printing and with effort and help from this forum you can do it without lawyers.

Withdraw USCIS Application To withdraw an application with USCIS, you need to write a formal letter requesting the withdrawal. This letter should include your pending case receipt number, full name, date of birth, I-94 details, current address, and a clear reason for the withdrawal. It is important to sign the letter and keep a copy before sending it to USCIS. If your application is still under process and hasn't been approved or denied by USCIS, you can cancel or withdraw it by writing a formal letter to USCIS. If your immigration petition has already been approved by USCIS and the case has been sent to the national visa center (NVC), you can submit a request to withdraw your case to the NVC through an online portal. In cases where the I-130 or I-140 petition has not yet been approved, it is relatively easy to cancel by sending a letter to USCIS, at whichever office is currently handling the petition, informing it of your withdrawal decision. Verification is key, as your signature and the date on the letter authenticate your identity and intention to withdraw, a non-negotiable requirement for USCIS and NVC. After signing, duplicate your withdrawal letter. This copy proves your request, safeguarding against future discrepancies or administrative errors. Send your letter to the USCIS service center or NVC that received your initial application. Utilize certified mail with a return receipt for proof of delivery. If you are withdrawing an OPT application, you should send an information request in Terra Dotta to your assigned ISS advisor to request that your OPT application be cancelled. You should also write a letter to USCIS to request the withdrawal of your OPT. According to 8 CFR § 335.10, an applicant may request, in writing, that his or her application, filed with USCIS, be withdrawn. If USCIS consents to the withdrawal, the application will be denied without further notice to the applicant and without prejudice to any future application.

Unsure what the lawyer is doing but the proper sequence of applications are as follows for K-1 visa marriage: I-129F Petition: K1 Visa: I-485 Petition: I-765 Petition: I-131 Petition: I-751 Petition: N-400 Petition: US citizenship Most likely the filed i-130 will get denied or require additional supporting documentation and go nowhere and cause complications if you don't do anything. You can simply withdraw the application. I hope the lawyer didn't charge you a fee for filing something you don't need. These forms are relatively simple enough for anyone to do it unless your situation is complicated and need help from a seasoned laywer.

Thanks for sharing. I will look into it Glad that you didn't have to use it. , 😁

You might want to include your copy of official IRS tax transcript to show you have means to pay for plane fare and related travel expenses if you are the person paying or whoever is paying. I didn't know if it mattered if I included in the supporting documents but at the interview they took it for review I believe. It didn't take much of my time so I just wrote a simple invitation letter explaining about the trip purpose, duration, location, accomodations and who is paying. Perhaps it helped in convincing them to approve without contacting the sponsor.

thanks.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I need to read the fine print on these insurance policies. One starts coverage after 7 days from the start date of the policy and has many exclusions.😦 As per the b-2 interview questions. my in-law says it was "easy peasy". I recall these 5 questions or similar: Do you have any children and family in Vietnam? How many in U.S.? How many days are you visiting? Who is paying for the trip? Have you ever traveled to U.S before? Did you apply for Visa before? I think they want to know if they can trust you to return to your home contry and have a place to stay and taken care of in the U.S. good luck it shouldn;t be too hard!

Hi everyone, I live in US and a Vietnamese in-law living in Vietnam was approved a B-2 visitor visa . I want to get traveler's insurance to cover the Vietnamese in-law while visiting U.S. Does anyone have experience with getting one and if so share their experiences?

Anticipate more delays with US consulates and embassies staff being fired all over the world.

It all boils down to what was or appears to be the intent when arriving US with the type of non immigration visa. I suppose if the non k-1 fiance came to "live" with you on each occasion then that may seem in the eyes of the Customs and Immigration that the person is not here for vacation or a visit as a tourist. Instead of her visiting many occasions, aoply for K-1 ASAP. It allows 90 days to figure out if marriage meant for you two while in US legally. The K-1 is for that purpose. If she keeps visiting maybe next time stay at a hotel and keep receipts.

As soon as your K-1 fiance arrived in US you should have gone straight to the SS office and applied for SSN. It should be in the visa journey step by step guide.

They have more accurate insight then any of us whose not in the immigration law.

We'll because changing are coming and not in full effect now. https://youtu.be/bIHsKXd56SE?si=RFs0AV-SoWXUvH5X

Well now with anti-immigration Trump polices it may take longer. For example, some interviews were waived but now interviews are required.
