In 2016 I came to USA with a tourist visa then applied for f1 which got denied before I applied for adjustment of status in 2017. F1 got denied in September and I applied my adjustment of status in July.  I did my interview in November since then I haven't heard from uscis. Does this mean I'm on remover proceedings I'm so worried that my f1 deniel visa can affect my current status. Any advise will highly appreciated

Just my opinion, no news is not bad news! The USCIS works in mysterious, but predictable was. You make several statements about being denied, denied... You have stated that you have done the interview..., from then on all you can do is wait!
Best of luck!

It does sound like you were trying to stay in the US by any means possible, and so this may mean your AoS being scrutinized more than the average person's. 

 

You can see if you are in removal proceedings by calling 1-800-898-7180 and entering your alien number into the automated system.

I agree with @Hypnos on this. They may be going over you file with a big magnifying glass. Just by what you typed, the AOS by marriage appears to be a back up plan.

Let's see. You came on a tourist visa in 2016 and then you decided to switch to a student visa which was denied. When this was denied I assume then you married a USC and applied for AOS. It all gives (me) the impression that your only chance was to marry an USC to stay here. Not saying this is what you are trying to do but honestly all what you said it does give that vibe. Uscis will think this way and that is why they are taking their time to investigate.

Your case is a typical case that definitely needs further review, as it’s a high risk for fraud though not necessarily implying you committed marriage fraud. Either way all you can do is wait since they do have up to 120 days post interview to adjudicate your I-485 and make a decision. Once their timeframe elapses and you still haven’t gotten any decision, you can then flex your options through an infropass or even using your congressional representative or senator to press for an inquiry about your case by then.

How was your interview?? Because for the delay in the desition of your AOS you are assuming that you going to be deported... :ph34r: I have been reading some people that have more then 5 months since the interview without any kind of answer and before denied your case I think maybe they going to make you a surprise visit or something like that

It has been 120 days post if their interview was in November.

 

Have you tried calling USCIS with your receipt number and asking them what's up?
