Hello all,
We just received a status update that our 129F (applied in November 2019) has been terminated. In March we received notice that the petition was approved and being sent to the NVC. Then in September it was sent back to USCIS.
Due to COVID our plans changed unexpectedly and we were married in May. We submitted the spousal application in June to adjust status as a concurrent filling and that is being processed now (receipts, RFE received).
Does anyone know, was this terminated because it expired or because we were now filling as married?
Was it a mistake to not withdraw the 129F? Will this be viewed as a denial and need to be declared the next time we travel?
Thank you in advance for sharing your insight and experiences.
