Do you have police records of the domestic violence?

After AOS approval, you can stay in the country without being married to your wife. But if your still in the process, you will likely be denied if you divorce your wife.

You will be out of status and deportable as soon as your AOS is denied. If you want to change to another visa, you will have to leave the country and apply for it. And to not jeopardized that, you probably want to leave as soon as possible. If you stay or are forcefully deported it will make it harder to get another visa.

I would suggest talking to an Immigration lawyer. I would expect if there were police reports of the domestic abuse you would have no problem staying in the country perminantly. It works for women that way I am sure it would work for men the same way.

You should not need to return to your country or to file for another kind of visa.

Yes, see an attorney. You may find a domestic violence victim support organization to fund the legal fees. If you can document the domestic violence with appropriate police records, USCIS can make an exception for AOS.

I know about cases with well-documented severe physical abuse that got denied. They were finally approved after a number of appeals, but VAWA is not as easy as some portray it to be.

OP, you need to talk to a good immigration attorney.

I'm not sure if you can change your status from AOS pending to F-1 (student) - filing I-539 when you're in the country is for those who change from one non-immigrant status to another, not from an immigrant to a non-immigrant... Talk to an attorney - if you don't accrue any illegal presense here, you shouldn't have any problems coming to the U.S. with an F-1 visa, even if you will have to leave the country now.

Best of luck!
