I agree with Carl that the consulate cannot cancel your status but you lose the status when you leave the U.S. I believe hi slast sentence is missing a "not" and he means you cannott return to the U.S. in that classification. While in the U.S. the tear-off I-94 is your evidence of status. When you leave the U.S. to attend the consular interview you surrender your I-94 card and evidence of status and will need a new visa to get back into this status.
