About me: I came to the US as an F-1 student, and have remained in legal status. I'm now married to a USC, and recently filed my I-130 and I-485 paperwork.
My question is, when can I stop worrying about the F-1 rules and regulations? Did it happen when I filed for AOS, or should I keep following the F-1 rules until I get my GC?
I don't plan to abandon my studies completely, but I'd like to be able to take less than 12 units, which would put me out of status as an F-1 student.
I also hope to travel if they grant me AP, but I'm really confused about this. If I lose my F-1 status now does that mean I'm "overstaying" until my AOS/GC is approved, and hence I shouldn't travel? Or is having an AOS claim in the works enough reason to travel, with advanced parole of course?
Help appreciated... the international student coordinator at my college knows exactly zero.
