Post-Divorce RFE?

[KTandTommy 31]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question... mods, feel free to move it if necessary.

I was divorced in January, before receiving my green card (but after submitting the paperwork for my green card). Back in January, I made an infopass appointment, and I submitted my divorce certificate and told them that I was no longer interested in living in the United States.

My parents just recently came back from Florida (where I was living) and they brought me a letter from USCIS - dated May 27. It's an RFE, for my greencard, asking for my ex-husband's birth certificate.

Do I need to make another infopass appointment to (re)inform them of the current situation, or can I just ignore it?

To re-iterate, I'm no longer pursuing the green card or living in the US. I am happily settled back in Canada - but I do often travel to the US and I don't want any complications in my travels.

I think you should formally withdraw your application or you'll have problems returning for whatever reason.

If you ignore it they'll deny the petition. It's better to call the USCIS and try to withdraw the petition again, but ignoring it will have the same effect.

Try not to ignore them

I'll try calling again, but when I made my infopass appointment back in January, the guy that I spoke to told me there was no way to formally withdraw, that they would just automatically deny it when I didn't show up for my interview... Does anyone know the specific words I need to say or place I need to call that will get it officially withdrawn?

They should already have a copy of my divorce certificate, and the last time I crossed the border, I asked the agent to put it in the system that I was no longer interested in living in the USA, and they wrote "CWOP" (cancelled without prejudice) on my visa in my passport and also updated their files in the computer to say the same thing, which is why I'm not really sure what's going on here...

*sigh* what a mess.

Send in a letter with a copy of the NOA1.

All you really need to say is.

"I wish to formerly withdraw my I-485 petition".

Include you full name and address and case number, plus date and sign the letter.

You don't need to give a reason, but you could state your marriage has ended and you've returned to your home country.
