F1 and I485 does it have to be a choice?????

[dongfangminzhu]

Hello everyone,

I, two days ago, got a surprise email from my lawyer announcing that my labor certificate has been approved.

I had almost given up any hope to obtain the certificate, and thus, decided to go on with my life by applying for a top MBA school.

the greencard and the admission are most valuable to me. Is it possible to get both?

To ask a more specific question, can I go back to school while pending in I485?

Thanks,

-P

Need more info on your job situation. But ordinarily, you can file for I-140/I-485/EAD after your labor is approved. And once you file 485, you can stay legally in US and study full time/part time as you like. But if you just got your labor cert, I would imagine that you will not go full time study. Are you asking about part time? If you are, you definately can. No need to apply for F1.
