Withdrawal of a Joint Form I-751 Under Matter of Mendes and Matter of Bernardo

Reviewed by Peter Messersmith September 18, 2026

Direct Answer

When one party withdraws support from a jointly filed I-751 before adjudication, Matter of Mendes treats the joint petition as withdrawn and directs adjudication under the statutory termination framework. Matter of Bernardo holds that when the I-751 itself was withdrawn before USCIS adjudication, the Immigration Judge ordinarily cannot review the merits of that withdrawn petition. Withdrawal therefore can change both the statutory termination basis and the scope of later Immigration Court review.
