Withdraw pending I-751 application

[baileylaurie 0]

Hello VJ!

Due to a separation and my subsequent move back to my home country, I have decided to withdraw my pending I-751 application.

We have separated but have not filed for a divorce yet (if it matters, we could do so first before withdrawing)

I am wondering what is the proper way to do this? Do I simply write a withdrawal letter to the Service Center where I filed?

I am reading in some other posts that I may receive a deportation notice and I would like to avoid that.

I am already overseas and have no intention of living in the US now. Could hardly find any information online and would like to avoid hiring a lawyer. This seems like it should be something easy to do.

Correct. Mention that you have left the US.

Also you will give to file a form to give up your CGC so you don't go through removal in case you plan to visit the US in the future

Do you mean the form I-407? Do I have to file that in addition to sending in the withdrawal letter to USCIS?

Thank you so much!

Yes you do, and submit your GC. You can do that at your local embassy. Since the I-751 is just like renewal form, it is not the actual GC

And I should submit the I-407 to my Consulate after USCIS confirm that they have received my I-751 withdrawal letter? Or should it be done simultaneously?

Thank you!! 🙏

I’d do it ASAP. They will connect  the dots and cancel the ROC application once they have the I 407 and GC in their hands

The above are all correct. Though I'd just wanna say that I'd think carefully before I relinquish the GC. I hope you are aware that if your marriage was bona fide, you can still have the GC and continue with your process all the way to becoming a citizen without your spouse. Many people have done it.

 

In fact, you can file I-751with a divorce waiver as soon as you obtain the divorce certificate.

 

People have come to regret relinquishing their GC. However,  if you have thoroughly come to this conclusion, then carry on.
