My husband and I filed the I-130 in December after I received permission from my job in Israel to take a year's leave to get a master's.  My program is only a year, and after lots of consultation with lawyers, we have decided to withdraw the petition.  He likely wouldn't be approved until January, and due to a new job offer we are planning to return to Israel anyway. The program is August - May and he will come visit me while I complete the program.  

Our I-130 is still at the Nebraska Service Center and we are still in the NOA-1 phase.  My questions are: 1) Where do I address the withdrawal letter (some sources said the NVC, some said the service center where it is being processed), and 2) What do I put into a withdrawal letter?  The only info on USCIS's site relates to falsely petitioning, which is not the case for us.

Thanks in advance.

I'm an American who has been living abroad in Israel for 6 years, and I got married to my Israeli husband in the US in July 2016. I work for an American international school here on a SOFA Visa in Israel, and don't have residency in Israel. I am taking a leave of absence to complete a graduate program in the States, but I want my husband to be able to work. We plan to probably return to Israel after the program (a year?) What should he be applying for and will he be able to work?
