Wife left US before getting advance parole (merged)

Gotta wait for a confirmation from USCIS on the i864 withdrawal before divorce. USCIS is taking their sweet time as usual but can’t be stuck with supporting her indefinitely (which seems like a really odd/dumb rule).

She abandoned AOS right? Doesn’t the i864 obligation end when she leaves under this circumstance?

It should but USCIS makes mistakes. I can testify to that. Better safe than sorry. Should just be a little longer anyhow.

Technically, that is probably true.......but as long as the I-485 has not been officially denied, the I-864 is lingering out there........I would officially withdraw it to remove all liability.....

But why?  Unless you do not to divorce either way?

I just read ideally letter should be notarized. I’ll send out notarized copies of the letter to USCIS NBC again and this time also the local field office.

[cmh 6]

Due to no reply from USCIS yet I’m resending the letter, now notarized per recommendations, to NBC again and this time also my local field office. Double-checking: include receipt numbers for both i130 and i485? Or just i130? Or also others? I know that USCIS crawls into a shell whenever I make even noninvasive enquiries on the i485 saying they can’t say anything about it since it’s my wife’s not mine, so I’m wondering if including the i485 receipt number may be having the same effect here hence no reply. Illogical, but knowing USCIS, plausible.

Just learned the interview was recently cancelled. Still no update on affidavit yet. Speaking of which, should I include the i485 receipt number in the i864 withdrawal letter given how USCIS crawls into their shell about applications specific to my wife whenever I’m on a call with them?

They were originally on separate issues but I guess they were still related to her exiting and reentering and my latest replies on both related to i864 withdrawal so I understand the reason for the merge, thanks for consolidating.

Yup still you and your estranged wife.  Have you made an infopass and withdrawn the I-864 in person yet?

Since January both of the offices that show up for my zip code in NYC say “This office is not accepting walk-in requests or scheduling InfoPass appointments.” Even last year when I tried to book an infopass for something else, appointments never showed up on the list.

 

Also, how long will Case Status Online be down for? I want to add a receipt number for alerts.

You will have to call USCIS and request an urgent appointment........

As far as I recall, last year when I asked for an appointment over a call they just referred me to the online scheduler (which never showed new appointment slots, even immediately after midnight), and I think I also tried earlier this year but they just confirmed that none of the offices for my zip are accepting appointments, but I guess I’ll try again noting the urgency.

Um… so the letter I wrote explicitly asked for the withdrawal of affidavit of support I-864, but today I received a case status update noting the withdrawal of I-130 petition for alien relative. Done or not?
