Withdrawal requests should include:

- The Form I-140 petition receipt number
- The name, address and phone number of you, the petitioner(try keep this the same as your original application)

- The alien registration number of the alien beneficiary, if known(include your previous receipt number if none)
- The petitioner’s signature or the Form G-28 representative(if you had a lawyer).
