Q: Should I contact USCIS and notify that I am no longer staying in the US?
I have filed form Form I-539 to extend my tourist visa. I have received my confirmation notice and my case has been pending. I went back to my country. The case is still pending. Should I contact USCIS and let them know that I am no longer staying in the US? I am planning on going back to US this summer while on my holiday break from school (I have 10-year visa). Should I be worried about potential problems with regards to my prolonged stay? Thank you.
A: Yes, you should notify USCIS that you have left the U.S. and wish to withdraw you application for extension.
A: You should withdraw the form I-539 by contacting USCIS to let them know.
