Withdraw application for ROC

[Severina 7]

Well, in September I filed for ROC and had my biometrics. A few weeks later I received the devastating news that my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This changes everything, I have to be with my family. My husband and I agreed that I will go back to Germany in March next year. I will not return, instead my husband will come to live with me in Germany. We are aware that it might take a while until he will be able to come since I have to find a job, apartment etc. and he has to organize a lot of stuff here. So I have a few concerns at the moment. As the processing time for the ROC can take up to a year I will probably not have my new Green Card before I leave. I read on the Internet that there's a proper process to abandon your Green Card with form I-407. Sounds like a clean process. But what do you do when you don't have your new Green Card yet? I assume I have to withdraw the petition. Does anybody know how you do that? Do you send a letter to your service center? Also I wonder if you will get a confirmation. It might be important to have that with regard to the IRS. Apart from that I wonder if I will be able to enter the US under the VWP again. I'm very scared that there might be some emergency here and I would have to apply for a tourist visa which will take I don't know how long. Has anybody here experienced a similar situation? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Do you have time to make an INFOPASS appointment before you go?? That might be the best way to get all of your questions answered.

Thanks for the advice. This hasn't even come to my mind. That might really be the best way to go.

Removed my post, since I didn't answer the question correctly.
