How to cancel AOS process
I am a European married to a USC. We just got the invitation for the AOS interview, but:
- Unfortunately, we have separated and he has moved out.
- I accepted a job back in Europe.
- I will leave the U.S. "for good" on March 27.
- But: Our interview is scheduled for March 20.
When and how should I cancel the AOS process and the interview?
How much time will I have to leave the country after ending the AOS process?
Will I actually have to book an earlier flight?
Will this have any implications for future travels to or attempts to get an H1B or a Green Card in the United States?
Thank you, your help is much appreciated!

Re: How to cancel AOS process
You can write to USCIS and tell them you will not be at the interview. You don't need to go into detail as to why. Alternately, you can simply not show up at your interview and, after a while, your petition will be deemed to be abandoned anyway.
This I don't know... but since you are *in* status until your AOS is denied I don't suppose the time between now and March 27 will matter.
I seriously doubt it.
It will likely have little impact, although you will need to disclose that you were the beneficiary of a non- or immigrant petition.

Just also wondered whether the easiest way of closing this whole AOS business would be to show up at the interview alone and explain.

That action would be the best way to ensure that USCIS knows of your plans and properly closes your file without any "marks" against you if you wish to attempt immigration in the future.

Re: How to cancel AOS process
Thank you very much for your replies! So you think that just leaving the United States and sending some official form in wouldn´t work as well?
I heard that there is an official form for cases like this.
Thanks!

Re: How to cancel AOS process
Are you thinking of a form for officially giving up your Green Card? You have to get the PR status first.

Re: How to cancel AOS process
I was on a J1 when I got married to an USC and filed for AOS.
Thank you.
Thank you.
