Filed N-400 in August 2007
Passed interview and test November 2007
Since then I haven't heard about the decision. I called numerous times to USCIS and all I heard was that no descision has been taken yet.
I filed N-400 on 3 years bases of green card. I received my GC through my wife. However, we are on verge of separation and I would prefer to file N-400 on my own based on 5 year terms from GC issue date.

Question:
1) How should I withdraw my case and re-file on 5 year terms in case of separation?
2) In case of reconciliation between me and my wife how should I pursue my pending case?

Any suggestion would be appreciated!!

Thanks.
 
There is no apparent way to withdraw anything from the USCIS. You just abandon the case and file another one when the time permits. There is no real need to return to the first one as now they consider the cases relatively quick.

If you're on the verge of separation and prefer to file on your own then you can submit a withdrawal letter to USICS and refile an application once you become eligible under 5 year rule.
Of course if you reconcile, then continue with your current case.
Schedule an Infopass and contact the USCIS ombudsman office to intervene as you have been waiting since November 2007.

If an applicant wishes to withdraw their case they can send a withdrawal letter to USCIS. Doing nothing will eventually result in an abandon of your application; it's better to withdraw if you intend to refile as to make sure your previous case is closed.
 
Thanks.. is there is certain form for withdrawal or just a formal letter would suffice?
