Ending/removing my derivative asylee status, and returning to my country, after divorce.
I am a derivative asylee. I have entered the US legally based on my spouse Asylee
status. We decided to be divorced. My question is
How can I lose/end my ‘derivative asylee’ status? I am from a different nationality, and
I have no problem returning to my country and live there. I have no interest staying in
the US and maintaining this status. How can I end it so it causes no problem in my
country?

It should not cause you any problems in your home country. If you do not yet have a permanent resident status in the US even if you qualify for one on the basis of the asylum grant, you can simply leave the US and return to your home country.
