Here is my situation



1. On May, 2003, filed I-539 ¡°change of status to F2¡± on May, 2003 at
Vermont service center

2. On September, 2003, filed second I-539 ¡°change of status to H4¡±
with spouse¡¯s H1 petition at Nebraska service center, got H4
approved on November, 2003.

3. Received ¡°original I-20 request¡± from Vermont regarding to first
I-539 for F2





I want to send Vermont a cancellation request to withdraw the pending
I-539 application for F2. My questions are:



1. Should I mention the H4 has already been approved and send them
copy of the approval notice?

2. Or a copy of the H4 receipt notice should be enough?

3. Since they are asking for my original I-20 for the pending I-539
/F2 application, will they accept my cancellation request and
ignore their previous document request?

4. Will not providing their requested document results in a denial
of my application even I write them a cancellation request?
Since my H4 has been approved, I do not want to give them my
original I-20.





Thanks in advance

Yes.

It probably would, as the examiner has a computer, but why not make it easy
for him or her?

I'm not sure what they will do (withdraw or deny the I-539), or whether it
makes a difference. The one thing you don't want them to do is to approve
the pending I-539 because technically that may override your change to H-4.

Maybe.

Well, if you are not in F-1 status, what do you care about the original
I-20?
