I had two petitons for I140, both got refiled and both got approved on different occasions, at least 3 months apart.
I decided to stick with the closest priority date and signed on with the ds230. The other one I did not sign the ds230. About now they are asking for me to submit the ds230, but I told them that we are not going to. I just asked them if I could just re imburst them for their troubles.
Now the problem is, what if they decided to go to the embassy and report this to them? How would it affect my processing for the preferred agency? Should I be wary of any kind of actions they might take on my petition?
I am really afraid of what might happen to me and my papers.
What should I do?
P.S. I tried to look for the agency in POEA, and they are not even registered with them.

You mean to say you were sponsored by two (2) different employers? I beleive your priority date now is current since you are being asked to submit a DS 230. According to my readings and research, you can be filed more than one I-130 by your parents, brothers or sisters. You can also be filed for an I-140 even if you have an existing I-130 application. But I am not sure for the more than one I-140 or more than one I-140. I think that the best thing to do is consult atty reeves. It costs 100 dollars but its worth it so that he can give you a legal advice on this matter since I have heard denials when the embassy found out if you have been filed for more than one I-140.

You have to checked with a legal lawyer. Reeves and associates has an office in makati you can set up an appointment via video conference before you proceed with your DS 230. I have heard denials from the embassy if they find out that you had two I-140.

Yes, I got two I140's by different agencies. But I did not go on to sign the other ds230... The second agency did not inform me that they refiled my petition for the second time after it got denied.

Even if you were not informed of the refiling of the petition for the second time, I am sure you became aware of it since you were given a copy of the approval of that petition for the second time. I think that you need to consult an immigration lawyer about it before proceeding with the DS 230 as soon as possible. And maybe you will need to settle things out first with the agency that you are dropping to prove to the embassy that you did not intend to take advantage of either agencies. I have read about visa denials for having two I-140's. In my case, I have a pending I-130 (family based petition) but still searching for answers if I can be filed for an I-140 with an existing I-130 application.

As what they told me, they are just going to settle with me the expenses that they incurred. And, thank God, they are just willing to let it slide... I don't even know if they are aware of it...
I am also suspicious about the agency... they asked me to sign a letter that is telling NVC that i have changed my authorized representative in the states, which I did not sign.

I think what you are talking about is the "agent of your choice" which the NVC requires you to submit to them so that they will know where they will mail subsequent correspondents regarding your visa processing. You can have check in the internet online or phone consultation with the immigration lawyers. They are expert in that field, and hopefully will give you tips and advice on how to go about your two I-140's which definitely is still both existing.

And even if you havent signed the NVC documents, your two I-140's are still existing and need to be addressed by an independent lawyer of your choice. Search the internet.
