You need only to turn in your I-94 at the airport when you depart. Nothing else really to be done.

Note that there might be additional questions for future K-1 interviews and for future interview for AOS even though you did not follow through with this one. The USCIS will be looking more closely for fraud since your love interests seem to be Americans and this will be a red light to them.

If you've filed the I-485, you *do* have status in the US as "pending adjustment". You will maintain this status right up until the day your adjustment is denied... and that may be 6 months from now or 3 years from now... whenever you get notice that the adjustment has been denied.

While you'll still be required to leave the US once the adjusment is denied, it's not something you need to do *right now*... so this may give you a few months or so of breathing room to make a decision about how you'd like to proceed.

I guess I need to clarify a little more. I am the USC. So the USC is looking
for the correct way to do this.

There is nothing special the USC needs to do in this case regarding USCIS. All you need to do is start the divorce paperwork (if that's what you want to do).
