Cancelling F1 status

[atomcaz 0]

Hi All

So I have my EAD and Social Security card...

my international student advisor has a copy as well and asked me when I would like to cancel my F1 status

when is the best time to do that?

I think I want to do it immediately as I do not want to be required to enroll in another 12 units next semester

opinions? advice?

so basically because i'm pending my GC still, i'm safe to stay here right? Cancelling F1 status wont hurt my transition?

I THINK you need to remain in status until your green card has been approved. If that is correct (someone will pipe up if I am wrong) then you need to keep your F-1 status until you get your green card. That is what my int'l advisor told me.

Tavo adjusted from a student visa - he will give you good advise.

I know...I rule B)

Nope, you are in a legal limbo, you are neither an Intl Student or a Permanent Resident, you are a foreign spouse waiting to adjust status. Besides that, immigration doesn't have a really good way to track it since after months of receiving my GC, the International Programs Office in my university still thought I was F-1 with OPT and requested proof of employment I just kindly told them to f..k off, kidding! I told them that I was a green card holder and didn't need an OPT anymore.

Like Tavo said, you are in limbo land. You are neither a F-1 and neither a permanent status. As soon as you file for AOS, you do not have to satisfy the requirements of your F-1 but know that if your permanent residency was denied, you accumulated overstay.
