Hi, I am holding an F1 visa and my wife is a citizen. My visa expires in july but my I-20 is good until 2014. We are trying to file I-485 and I-130 together. However, we talked to an attorney today and he said if my application is denied, I will be subject to deport. Is it true?
well, it's true for everyone. Are there any reasons your application may be denied?Hi, I am holding an F1 visa and my wife is a citizen. My visa expires in july but my I-20 is good until 2014.

I think your lawyer wants to milk you for all you are worth, and is trying to scare you into using him for the process. You can do it yourself, without spending your money on his services, especially if you don't have a superdifficult situation, like illegal presence or entrance, criminal behavior, any reasons for inadmissibility, etc.
True for everyone transitioning from F1 to adjustment of status, but not true for every AOS person who is denied.well, it's true for everyone.
F-1 student who is maintaining F-1 status during the AOS can also fall back on their status and would not be deported, since there is no deportable offence. So, my statement stands: any person whose AOS is denied MAY be subject to deportation. It all depends on the reason for deportation.True for everyone transitioning from F1 to adjustment of status, but not true for every AOS person who is denied.
Somebody with H1/H4/L1/L2 status can continue to remain in the US with their H or L status, provided the reason for the AOS denial was not for something deportable.
