Hello all,
In preparing to fill out the ds260, I came across a question with regards to my wife, whom I'm petitioning for. I would like to know if a withdrawn/terminated K-1 would be considered a "Refused visa." Some details:
I had applied for a K-1 visa before, but due to an employment opportunity, we decided to become married in her country, thus invalidating the K-1.
The i129f was approved already and the NVC sent the information to the consulate office in the country.
I notified the office that I wanted to withdraw the K-1 visa, and the consulate responded by saying the i129f was returned to the USCIS for disposition
I later received a letter from the USCIS telling me that the K-1 visa I applied for was "terminated" after the petition was returned to the USCIS and "expired" after four months, citing 8 C.F.R. 214.2(k)(5)
I'm not sure if a consulate "return" is considered a rejection, especially since the reason for the termination was the expiration of the petition. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
