Current USCIS Status?

[icaruslol 1]

Hi there;

I have a quick question. I came to US with an F1 visa but after I got married in December I stopped going to school so I wouldn't have to pay anymore. I was filling out the I-485 and I saw the Current USCIS Status line. Should I put Out of Status or F1? My visa is still valid and doesn't expire till December of this year.

Thanks

Put F-1 Student. It's the last status that you came to the USA on.

The I-130 will also ask this in Part C

Since, you stopped going to school, the school where you got your I-20 will have already notified USCIS that you did not attend school and USCIS will make note of that in their records. Make sure you fill out your I-485 and I-130, I-765 as soon as possible.

As soon as you stopped attending the classes - you were out of status. Does not matter u married or not at that point, the school that issued you the I-20 would report you dropping out of the classes to USCIS.

. . . and nobody would care anyway.

There are literally illegal aliens who committed crimes and are being released out of prison after years and nobody cares.

Thank you for the replies. But who should I listen to? YuAndDan said to put F1 and others I think say to put Out of Status

They actually all said put F-1.

They were pointing out that you are out of status, which you know already.

I would put F1.
