F1 Status after marriage?

Hello everyone.

First off, this website and the community has already helped me enormously in my AOS process. Thanks to all the contributor!

I'm almost done with all the paperwork and will probably send in my AOS package during the coming days. Something has struck my attention though and made me very nervous. I was here in the USA for the last 2 years on a F1 Visa. I got married this Summer and I am now applying for a green card. The thing is that I took off school during the Summer and now (Fall term) I am still not going to college which means, form what I know, that I loose my F1 student status.

Am I in troubles? Can I still file for AOS from my F1 Status?

Help is very much appreciated.

thanks,

Mischa

Overstay is usually forgiven when marrying a US citizen.

If Summer was your regular "off-quarter", then you technically will become overstay two months after the beginning of the fall quarter. There is a two months grace period given by USCIS. So I do not believe you have accumulated any overstay. Just file your AOS.

Also, you might want to get in touch with your International adviser and let him/her know you are adjusting your status so that they don't flag your account or something.

I am not a lawyer so maybe someone can chime in and confirm/deny this. :)

AOS Approved on 10-17-08 (details in profile)

Removal of Conditions on 07-19-10

In this tedious process, we tend to forget that this is all worth it.

I love my hubby beyond anything in this world.

Yes you can, you will be in a legal limbo in which you won't be a permanent resident nor a student nor a tourist, but still you are legally able to stay in the US since you are a foreign spouse adjusting status.

P.S. Do not exit the country by no means until you have your advance parole in your hands or in case you didn't apply for it, until you have your green card.

Also, there is a subforum special for students, tourist and work visa holders adjusting status. :thumbs:
