I am currently on F1 but recently married US citizen and am filing status change papers at the end of this month, do I still need to be in school to maintain status untill all the paperwork is done?
 
You need to be still in school until you pass the interview. Good luck to you.
How long have you been married and how long have you been in U.S and how long yall have been together.. Make sure yall have to join insurance and credit cards and everything, as much as possible. Yall should have a lot of photos about yall together and with your friend, especially members of family..

Once you file your AOS, you can talk to your international student advisor and apprise him/her that you have filed for AOS. You can temporarily withdraw at that point. This has to be done only after your receive your NOAs. As for now, with the semester starting, you have to be registered as a full-time student to be in status.

Though nothing is automatically canceled, filing for AOS means that you have abandoned your F-1.
