    Default Stop Going to School [F-1] After Applying for Green Card

    Hi.

    If I [an international student on F-1 in California] & my wife [who is a US Citizen] apply for my green card [adjustment of status] and work permit, can I stop going to my school immediately while the paperwork is being processed by the INS [right after we mail it]? Can I stay legally in the US while the whole paperwork/procedure is in progress and not go to school?

    If it is possible, is there a standard procedure for that or do I simply stop going to school? It seems the school or their officers know nothing about such information.

    Any advice or info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You may stop attending school, but if you do so the minute you file for AOS it may cause the USCIS to scrutinize your case more closely. It implicates the question of whether you entered the U.S. with the goal of pursuing a degree, or with no serious intent to complete the degree program due to an actual goal of getting married to a citizen.
