Cancelling AOS application

[Cndn 98]

I am considering cancelling my pending AOS application and moving back home. Should I send a letter to USCIS if that’s what I decide to do? Where do I send it? There is all these different service Centers? My local field office? 
 

i want to be able to still visit the US. Will I have any issues entering the US in the future because I once tried to immigrate?

Do you have approved Advance Parole?   If not, you will automatically abandon adjustment of status when you exit the country (without approved AP).  You could also notify USCIS of your intent to abandon.

Yes, having shown prior intent to immigration can be considered when requesting entry later.  It will be a judgement call by your consulate based on your ties to home country.

Thank you. Yes, I do have AP. I could mail it back. 
 

I’m a Canadian so normally prior to marrying an American and immigrating I would just cross the border with ease by land. We don’t apply for visas, so I guess I would just find out at the POE if I would be let back in or not. I would hope I wouldn’t be basically barred from the US from now on because I have done everything in accordance with immigration law.

You can send withdrawal letter to the service center from where you got the i-485 Receipt notice. If you have already received the interview letter, then send it to the assigned field office.

 

As said, now that you have already shown the immigrant intent, your future visits could face some scrutiny.

I would understand that for a while they might of course question things a little if my cancelled application had been recent, but I’m hoping that as time went on they would be more assured of my ties to my home country. Maybe bringing proof of ties would be helpful when trying to reenter? I have family in the US and I love to travel the US, which is why this is a concern. 
 

I’m hoping someone can tell me their experience about entering the US after abandoning an immigrant petition. I don’t know how to search this site to find out if there has ever been anyone who has been denied entry after having abandoned their immigrant petitions.
