Asylum Withdrawal and AOS
I previously filed an affirmative asylum application (Form I-589) and later submitted a written voluntary withdrawal letter requesting that USCIS close my asylum case. I have proof of delivery but have not yet received confirmation.
I was unable to attend my asylum interview due to illness, and my online case status now says “Interview Must Be Rescheduled.” However, I do not wish to continue my asylum case.
I am currently pursuing Adjustment of Status through marriage to a U.S. citizen, and my I-485 is pending with upcoming biometrics.
My questions are:
1. Does missing the asylum interview after submitting a withdrawal request create any risk of referral to immigration court?
2. Should I request a reschedule if I want the asylum case closed as withdrawn?
3. Could this affect my pending Adjustment of Status?
Thank you for your guidance.
