AOS working with no work auth

hey , i am DV 2010 winner too and i am currently on F1 status. I have worked without proper work authorization and filed for tax return too. I have decided to go for CP. I heard that once i go for CP my F1 status will be over and in case i fail in my interview for CP i will have to apply for a new VISA in order to get back to the states. Is that true???? please let me know

Yes, before your interview at the embassy/consulate, your F1-visa will be canceled. If your interview is successful and you have no problems, you will get a new visa on the passport, if not, then you will have to apply again for F1, but that would be a difficult task, as you would have shown intent to stay in the US, and the IO want to make sure that as F1 you will come back after your studies.
