Green Card from citizenship advise

[f1ocu]

Currently im holding F1 VISA and my wife will be swearing to become a us citizenship this August 30. My questions is, if i drop my class after my wife become citizen will i got any problem for applying my Green Card?.

Currently i have process all my paper and just wait for my wife citizenship certificate then i will send it. I been married for 4 years and we have 2 kids. I just want to get confirmation that if i drop my class, ICE will not come and look for me or i will get any trouble given that i have some problem in the past with immigration which i got pickup by ice due to i did not attend school for 1 semester, then i was placed on removal proceeding but it got dismissed by the JUDGE and i got reinstated for my I-20. Will this come and haunt me when i drop my class this semester and they giving me hard time with my Green Card. However while waiting for my wife citizenship, my lawyer file i-130 and i got approved in 2011. I alse see the priority date in USCIS for F2A is current as well right now

So should i stay in school until i got my greencard or i dont have too with all the situation i have

There mere acquisition of US citizenship by your wife won't give you any legal status. You'll still have to file I-485 to be able to stay legally after quitting school.

You should keep attending classes at least until you file the I-485 and have the I-485 receipt. Then you can show the I-485 receipt to your school's International Student Office (or whatever they call it) so they can remove you from SEVIS monitoring. Otherwise, quitting classes would raise an alarm with SEVIS which could have ICE showing up at your door again.

However, if you haven't already completed at least 2 semesters, you should study at least until you complete 2 semesters even if you get the I-485 receipt before that. Otherwise, the combination of skipping one semester and then quitting again before completing another makes it appear that your F1 visa was just a pretense to get you into the US, and that you did not intend to be a bona fide student. That could get you in trouble for student visa fraud.
