Hi. I have quesitons regarding I-485 pending. I am currently a F-1 student, and I will graduate in April (for a reason, this is the second same level of degree, so I don;t have a new OPT for this degree). My husband is H1-B. currently, our I-485 is pending. 1) If my I-485 has not approved after I graduate. Is my stauts still legal here after I graduate? 2) If my I-485 got denied, do I have to leave immediately? or I have grace period to change my status?3) If I want to apply higher degree after I graduate (assume my I-485 is still pending), can I do that? what status I would be (still F-1 or others?)Thanks
Thank you for allowing me to assist you. If there is a delay in my reply, I am helping others but WILL reply to you asap. Thanks for your patience. 1) If my I-485 has not approved after I graduate. Is my stauts still legal here after I graduate? Reply: No, you would be out of status if the I-485 was not approved before you graduate.2) If my I-485 got denied, do I have to leave immediately? or I have grace period to change my status? Reply: Only if you have not graduated yet and your I-485 is denied would you be able to change status. If you graduate and the I-485 is denied and you have not changed status before then, you are out of status and have no grace period to do so.3) If I want to apply higher degree after I graduate (assume my I-485 is still pending), can I do that? what status I would be (still F-1 or others?) Reply: You can get another F-1 or H-4 since your husband is on H1 and you can attend school on either visa.I hope this helps.
