J1 Adjusting Status wanting to leave her J1 job!

[Ivy22 0]

Hello, everyone

I'm working for a hotel on a J1 visa and the official end date of the program is Oct. 24. However, I've applied for an AOS (I got married to an US citizen) and I've just received my I-797 Notice of Action letters...As I can't stand that job any more, I want to hand my notice in now that I have my first I-797 (Receipt)....in your opinion, would that be rushed since it's not an "approval notice" yet or it won't matter since the approval notice will take a long time anyway and I'm already legal to stay past my end date (because the case is pending) even though I'm dropping my job 2 weeks before the end???

I guess my question is related to the fact that my status is changing now and I was told by my agency that once I've applied to adjust status that I needed to stop my J1 job - in the end, that's what I wanted to do anyway!!!

Just need a final insight before I hand in my notice!!!

Thank you so much...

Now that you have AOS pending, you are in a NEW period of authorized stay that is not dependent on you keeping your job.
