@Zack M are you ever planning on returning to the US? If not, then I wouldn’t worry about it. USCIS won’t share anything about you to your country unless you’ve committed crimes here. So good luck with everything!

Yeah i am planing in the future? And what happens when you left country with pending asylum?

@Zack M Leaving the country with a pending asylum case is an automatic abandonment of the asylum case, unless you had prior approval from USCIS to leave the country, and which would have allowed you to return safely. If you left to return to your home country, then that means that conditions in your home country have improved and you no longer feel unsafe there. USCIS will not send anything about your previous asylum case to your country. You may notify them that you left while the case was pending for courtoisy, but keep in mind that you have already demonstrated immigration intent. So, getting a visa to return in the future is going to be more difficult for you. In any case, please, consult with an immigration attorney, always. Best of luck!

so should i withdraw case by sending letter via email

@Zack M If you’re sure you’re not returning to the U.S. and you want to formally close your case, yes—you can withdraw it by sending a signed letter to the asylum office where your case was pending. Some offices accept emails, but most still prefer physical mail. So here’s what you should do: 1. Write a signed letter saying you’d like to withdraw your asylum application. Include: • Your full name • A-number (Alien number) • Date of birth • The reason you’re withdrawing (you can keep it simple, like “I no longer wish to pursue this application.”) • A signature and date 2. Send it to the asylum office that had your case. You can look up the office’s contact info on the USCIS website: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/asylum-offices 3. If you want to send it by email, check that specific asylum office’s instructions. Some do accept email withdrawals, but not all.

@Lilo Pelekai If i wanna return, it doesn’t worth withdrawal case ?

there is things in my country right now everything is good and hope gonna be good. but one day maybe after 5-10 years i wanna return to USA by visa. So withdrawal gonna be good for me or it doesn’t make sense?

@Zack M If you already applied for asylum in the U.S., you’ve officially shown immigration intent—that means you told the U.S. government you wanted to live here permanently because it wasn’t safe for you to go home. That’s a very serious statement, and it does not get erased even if you withdraw the case or it was never approved. So, here’s the hard truth: Even if you withdraw your asylum case properly, your chances of getting a future U.S. visa are very low. Most visas—especially tourist, student, or work visas—require you to prove that you do not intend to stay in the U.S. permanently. But by applying for asylum, you already showed the opposite. You told the U.S. you wanted to stay for good. That’s going to be on your record forever no matter what. Immigration officers will see it. You’ll be questioned about it. And in many cases, it leads to visa denials, even years later. That’s especially true for nonimmigrant visas like B1/B2 or F1, which are only for people who are expected to return to their home country. So to be clear: • Yes, it’s better to formally withdraw your case than to leave it abandoned. • But no, that doesn’t make your future visa chances strong. • You will still be likely denied simply because you once applied for asylum. I’m not saying it’s 100% impossible—but it is extremely unlikely. If you’ve built a new life in your country and things are stable, that may be the fresh start you need. But returning to the U.S. on a visa after applying for asylum is one of the hardest things to pull off. Please, note that the simple fact that you left means that you no longer have an asylum case. USCIS either closed it with "abandoned" or "denied". They have the record that you left from the point of entry from which you left. So, you sending them an official letter now doesn't make things better for you. It just helps them put "Withdrawn" instead of "Abandoned" or "Denied" on that case. If you didn't have another valid status while your asylum case was pending, then this makes it worse for you because you overstayed, as a pending asylum is not a status in itself. So, you probably already have a ban in your record. That ban can range from 3 years to permanent depending on how long you overstayed and other factors. Your chances of ever returning are very low. Last but not least, get with a licensed immigration attorney. They'd tell you the same thing about your chances to return, but they'd also know whether it's worth trying or not.

@Lilo Pelekai you nailed it

@A K Thank you very much. 😊
