married American citizen but Almost out of status with student visa

[Credo 12]

I came on F1 in 2013 and since then have being on status. I married in July 2015 and about to fill for AOS. I have a pending immigration case because i was out terminated from the system erroneously by my former school so my school applied for me to be reinstated since march. I have not heard from them since then and have also being in school all this while as my case is being reviewed.

Forward to fall 2015, i am running into serious financial difficulties and cannot keep up with the $7000 per semester tuition fee which i have paid for 4 consecutive semesters. with the money being spent again on my current AOS to greencard which we will send out the packet by Friday, my husband and i cannot keep up with my fall $7000 tuition as he is in school too. I plan not to enroll this fall and i dont know if it will affect my chances with the green card application. I want to take a break from school but i dont know if it will affect my student visa reinstatement or green card application will supersede the student visa reinstatement processes

please advise cos i dont have energy for any long immigration troubles

thank you

Simply proceed with your AOS, any overstay will be forgiven with marriage to a USC. You can always re-apply to school at a later date.

You can follow the guide here for any help in the process.

Hi,

The AOS filing puts you in a period of authorize stay.

The consequence of not maintaining your F-1 status would only matter if the green card is denied. A denial of the green card would leave you without a status to fall back onto.
