A person married for 11 months, facing marital issues, filed an HMOP petition with an IA to waive the one-year waiting period. Due to issues with the petition and lack of progress, they are considering withdrawing the IA and filing a fresh HMOP petition after completing one year of marriage. Legal advice suggests it's possible to engage a lawyer now, proceed with the current case, or withdraw the IA and file a new petition after the one-year mark.
