Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

My permanent residency application was filed under EB-3 (PERM process) in Dec 2006. I am an Indian citizen so this is retrogressed by many years. My labor, I-140 were approved in 2007 and in July 2007 when the UCSIS was briefly accepting I-485 applications my I-485 was applied for (In the long wait for the priority date to become current).

I have decided to abadon my permanent residency application process and move back to India to be with my family. However I do plan to work for my current US company via a 3rd party Indian company as a contractor out of India. This will require me to travel back to the US once in a while for business trips.

1. What is the cleanest way to show my intent to abandon my permanent residency application?

2. Because I had a permanent residency application in the past will this cause any issues with receiving a business visa (Possible Immigrant Intent)?
