Will the applicant see my co-sponsor withdrawal letter?

I am wondering if my cousin’s husband will see a copy of the withdrawal letter I’m sending out, specifically the date I signed it. Additionally, will he get a notification that a change has been made to his pending status? I already told my cousin I’m sending the letter. I’m just wondering if they will be able to see a scan with the exact wording I’m sending.

It is possible that they could see the letter later on if they were to file a FOIA request.

Would the individual seeking citizenship see a copy of the co-sponsor withdrawal letter?

I understand that navigating the citizenship process can be complex. Have you or the individual seeking citizenship already submitted the application with a co-sponsor?

Yes

What specific concerns do you have regarding the co-sponsor withdrawal letter?

Will the individual get to see a copy of the letter?

Is there anything else the immigration lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your request.

How are you doing today? Which application are you trying to withdraw?

I-864, Immigration.

Phil (Immigration Phil)

It is possible that they could see the letter later on if they were to file a FOIA request.

What is that?

Phil (Immigration Phil)

The Freedom of Information Act. It allows them to obtain full copies of their immigration files that the government maintains.

Got it.

Let’s say my letter is reviewed by USCIS — does it alter his status automatically? Like, does he get a status update notification?

Or is it that he just needs to find a new co-sponsor while his status is still pending?

Phil (Immigration Phil)

It wouldn’t be automatic. USCIS would likely issue a request for evidence telling him that he has to show proof that he has another sponsor. Worst case scenario, they could deny the entire application.

Do you know how long the turnaround time usually is if I send in a withdrawal letter?

Phil (Immigration Phil)

It will take them 2–3 weeks at least.

Okay. Do I get any form of update?

Phil (Immigration Phil)

Yes, you’ll need to include your name and mailing address in your withdrawal letter and request that they send you a notice acknowledging and confirming the withdrawal.

Phil (Immigration Phil)

Do you have any other questions?

No, thank you.

Sounds good. Have a great night!
