I have just married my American boyfriend, and now that we have our marriage certificate, we are going through the green card process.

So here is my question. I am on an F-1 VISA and have 12 college credits. I am going to be busy with VISA procedures, etc. I would like to destroy my I-20 and switch my status to I-797C if possible. The international office at the college does not recommend destroying the I-20 until I receive my green card. But I can switch to I-797C and stay. I was told.

Personally, I would like to change my status before I submit my green card paperwork and continue to take classes at the college for 12 credits or less.

Is there any risk there ？

I would appreciate it if you have had a similar experience or have any information.

First of all, the assumption that people who don't say congratulations on your marriage are not good is middle-aged. The assumption and imposition of being old is egregious.

Does the other man have an income ？
Since he is sponsoring you to get a green card, if he does not have enough income to support you, he will not get a green card no matter how married you are.

Topix I didn't hear that, and the way you phrased it is disgusting, the type of person I would not want to discuss this with #1. LOL!

Nowadays, it's tougher for someone who had a student VISA than someone who came in as an esta and stayed illegally. All the schools ask for transcripts and proof that you were a full time student. Of course, if you went to a language school for a year and then went to a proper college or four-year program and graduated, you should have no problem. They will give you your transcripts right away. However, if you have ever received an I-20 from a shady school that only has foreign students and you don't have to go there, they will drop you without mercy. A Korean was once arrested and convicted by the immigration authorities for operating a school business for foreign students who did not have to go there, and it got tougher. This is not Trump related since the arrest was made during the Obama era. But it is clear that it got tougher with Trump, and it is not necessarily going to loosen up anytime soon with Biden.

Supplement.
If you quit school in the middle of your stay, you may be in trouble. What was the purpose of going to school ？?
