Cancel of AOS Petition

[Davecsfl 1]

What happens if the AOS petition is cancelled by the petitioner before the interview?

Is the petitioner, Signer of the 864 still responsible for the beneficiary?

usually, best way to be certain, is for the USCitizen to withdraw the I-864, affadavit of support, prior to either interview or green card issuance.

I've posted a bit on this topic, this month - let me know if you can't find my posts?

The US citizen cannot withdraw the AOS petition. The intending immigrant submitted the I-485, and only the intending immigrant can withdraw it. The US citizen can withdraw their I-864 affidavit of support. Without a primary sponsor, the intending immigrant cannot adjust status based on their relationship with the US citizen.

As long as the I-864 is withdrawn before the green card is issued then the US citizen is not financially responsible for the intending immigrant. The I-864 becomes enforceable, and cannot be withdrawn, once adjustment of status has been approved.

Thank you for the information.

This is not true. Revocation of the Affidavit of support is not a formal process where the USCIS recoginizes. A friend of mine recently married and has attempted infopass in addition to sending notarized letters to the Service Centers to revoke the I 864. He was told that he had to file divorce for uscis to take any action.

If there's information or evidence to suggest otherwise, I'm willing to reverse my opinion.
