Abandoning Green Card application

Post by mcendless » Wed Oct 17, 2007 9:16 pm

Can anyone describe what the legal consequences are (if any) of abandoning a GC application (EB2; I-140 approved; EAD & AP received; I-495 pending; currently on H1B/H4) and leaving the states for good? More specifically, my wife is considering to work a few months now that she finally got her EAD after 4+ yrs of waiting. At the same time, we also recieved a UK's HSMP & EC so we can move to UK anytime to freely live and work not facing any more uncertainty and procrastination on part of USCIS. Obviously chances are high that a few months from now our Green Cards will still not be ready, so I wonder whether abandoning our applications after working on EAD will make my wife and/or I 'bad guys' in the eyes of the USCIS.
