Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
Not sure if i should post here or on returning to UK.
Its all happening very fast and we are starting the move back to the UK. Didn't expect to a few months ago but after a couple of trip back know that's where we want to be. The issue that worries me a little is getting the procedure right so I can get an ESTA. Whilst we will move back next month i will still need to come back at least once a month to visit customers whilst a replacement is found and trained up. My understanding is I should write to USCIS and state i want to cancel my AOS. The worry is how long it takes them to process it and what happens when a couple of weeks later i apply for an ESTA. Does anyone also know what i need to do to get my GE so i can then just use my UK passport ? |
Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
I-751 is removal of conditions, are you already a GC holder? If so you are technically a permanent resident and need to follow procedures for abandoning permanent residence.
If just at AOS stage, with your AOS submitted, you've shown an intent to immigrate, so yes you should formally abandon the procedure to show that you no longer have immigrant intent. |

Yes, Chin's a PR but a CPR.
I would suggest you do the online rescinding of your residency status and just not allow your status to evolve into revoked status. There is a form to complete online. Go to the www.uscis.gov site. It is form I-407 |
Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
For GE if you mean changing the DOC you use on entry from the GC to passport you have to go in person to update it. The first flight Into as a Citizen did not get Pre, so I assume my GE is also broken. NU appointments are out in Jan somewhere, but I was told I can do this as a walk in at the airport on arrival (after immigration the normal way). I assume if you did it with a GC you never did the application with the UK gov? https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-t...united-kingdom Also you should take advise to make sure the activities you have planned will comply with B1 activities and not be working. |

As for the OP: you will definitely need to appear in person. From tht's link: Global Entry members who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. lawful permanent residents must maintain updated visa information with CBP. If a Global Entry member obtains a new visa, or obtains a new petition for a work visa, the member must notify CBP in-person at a Global Entry enrollment center. |

Thanks for the feedback. This probably should be in the marriage section.
I don’t want to do anything illegal, will pay all the right taxes in both countries if needed etc. For now my wife a USC wants to be in Uk with her mum. She’s a UK citizen as well. Who knows what the future holds. Talking with my boss yesterday it looks like I will be in the US about 40-50% of the time foe the next 18 months. Seems he wants my help for longer. Am I doing anything wrong leaving my AOS in and in Aug next year applying for citizenship ? It’s not a big issue if it is just looking at options. |
Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
You must be resident in a USA district for a certain amount of time before you can file the N-400, so if you move out of the USA now, you won't be able to apply for citizenship, as you'll abandon your AOS.

I'm still not clear on whether you are already a PR and are removing conditions (I-751) or if you are still in the process of becoming a PR (AOS). You have mentioned both.

I'd say you could run into problems coming in on the VWP 40 to 50% off the year for meetings. That's a lot of trips and a lot of time in the USA.

Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
In my opinion, you should continue with the I-751 and even become a USC, so that you have the greatest ease of living in both countries. However, that means continuing to live in the USA another couple of years, are you OK with that?

Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
Try and get through another couple years in USA and get your citizenship. Your wife as a USC can come and go as she pleases.

Re: Cancelling my I-751 and then ESTA and GE
Well my wife will be living in the UK next month for the foreseeable. So that is a challenge.

If you have spent most of the last 2 years here you can probably be away from home in the US even more and still meet the required number of days for Citizenship. I kept a very detailed spreadsheet but ended up having to wait for so long for the Germans to give me permission to be some a USC that my 5 years travel was actually very minimal. |
