Q: The USCIS informed me on the phone that an application I petitioned was administratively closed. What does that mean?
I filed for annulment/divorce 2.5 years ago and I also withdrew my sponsorship. I am still going through the annulment/divorce so I called the USCIS to see if I am still being considered as a sponsor since I never received any confirmation of my withdrawal. I was informed that the application was administratively closed as of 2018 but I am not sure what that means.
A: It means, as the result of your withdrawal, they close the case. Confirmation is not prerequisite to closing of the case.
A: It’s closed for all intents and purpose. However, either you are your wife can make a motion to reopen The case. But since it appears that you are the petitioner, you would not ask for the case to be reopened unless you reconcile.
A: It means it is closed.
