What Happens when someone violates their F-1 status while marriage-based green card is pending

[Lanresamuels]

Hello guys,

I have a question: What happens to someone who violates their F-1 status while they have a marriage-based green card application pending? Do they just automatically fall out of F-1 status, or will it affect their pending application

Depends whether the application is based on marriage to a green card holder or to a US citizen.

How do they violate F-1 status? Just not go to school? Or work illegally? If the I-485 is already pending, then simply going out of status (e.g. not going to school) will not affect the I-485, and this is true in every category.

Applying and working with CPT after they have submitted all their i-20s to USCIS months before.

CPT is part of F1. How does it violate F1 status?
