Withdrew K1 petition after bad lawyer advice — can we reverse it? Status was “Ready” on CEAC

Looking for advice from anyone who’s been through something similar.

My fiancé and I hit a rough patch a little while back and decided we just wanted to pause the K1 process — not end it. We consulted a lawyer who told us the only option was to send a withdrawal letter to USCIS. We were panicked and trusted him, so we did it.

We regret it more than I can say. We’ve since consulted a second lawyer who told us the first one was flat-out wrong — there were other ways to pause without withdrawing.

We’ve worked things out and want to move forward together. My case status on CEAC is still showing as “Ready.”
A few things I’d love to hear from this community:
1. Has anyone successfully reversed or rescinded a K1 withdrawal letter?
2. Does the “Ready” status on CEAC mean anything in our favor here?
3. If we have to refile, what’s the realistic timeline and what should we expect?

Any shared experiences or guidance would mean a lot. Thanks.

TL;DR I 28/F and finance M/29 recently broke our engagement, his behaviour is different. What to expect?

Tldr: relationship is on pause

Me and my fiancé recently ended our engagement. Well it was his decision but whatever. I messaged him because i was craving him saying i still miss him and not able to live without him. He said let’s cool off and he needs 2 weeks.

There are few points he said:

  1. He still loves me and miss him
  2. Everything was going way too fast
  3. He need to suppress his emotions so he doesn’t hurt me in the future.
  4. He has a pressure to succeed in his exam.
  5. He hasn’t deleted our pictures from social media.

I know it’s alot but deep down I wonder if i should wait or just close the chapter? Do people really able to work on their relationship after separation?

I feel like he is an avoidant personality and me anxious.

Any advice is always helpful.
