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	Should I request a reschedule if I want the asylum case closed as withdrawn?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.
