How Can I Delete My USCIS Online Account?

There are three types of accounts in myUSCIS:

Applicant, Petitioner or Requestor account is for people submitting forms on their own without a legal representative;
Legal representative account is for attorneys and accredited representatives; and
H-1B Registrant account is to register for the H-1B random selection process.

If you have selected the incorrect account type and have not submitted an online form to USCIS using the account' you may delete your account and start a new one.

Drafts of forms and registrations must be deleted to successfully delete the account.
