I-130 Withdrawal Rescission – Has Anyone Experienced This?
Hi everyone,
My wife (U.S. citizen) filed an I-130 petition for me on February 18, 2025 (IR-1/CR-1).
Due to the emotional stress and difficulties of our long-distance marriage, she submitted a withdrawal request on October 19, 2026.
On October 26, USCIS acknowledged receiving the withdrawal request but stated that an officer had not yet reviewed and processed it.
After reconsidering her decision, she changed her mind and wanted to continue the petition. She therefore signed and notarized a letter requesting USCIS to rescind the withdrawal on November 3 and uploaded it to her USCIS account on November 6, 2026.
My questions:
1. Since USCIS had not yet processed the withdrawal, is there any possibility they will accept the rescission request?
2. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
3. Did USCIS allow your I-130 petition to continue after receiving a rescission request?
4. Would contacting USCIS or involving an immigration attorney help?
I would really appreciate hearing about actual experiences or advice from anyone familiar with this situation.
Thank you!

you may need to consult an attorney to ensure you’re getting the most accurate information possible.
to me, it looks like a red flag that wife would even go as far as sending a withdrawal request , because now they know that something isn’t right.
but don’t take my word for it, consult with your attorney as soon as possible and catch them up to speed with every little detail of your case - even if you and wife are going through a rough patch, please be honest with your attorney to guide you .
