Length of Time to remain in school

[Andy&Angela 0]

Hi, I'm new to this whole forum thing so please just work with me.

I just had a simple question. I am applying for adjustment of status for my wife who is from China. She is currently in graduate school but does not plan to stay. I was wondering if she must stay in school during the entire process of adjusting status or if the initial notification (receipt) that the application has been accepted warrants her "pending adjusting status" status and she doesn't have to remain in school to be legally in the united states. Basically, I'm asking if after the notification that all materials were submitted properly and accepted that she can quit school and come live with me?

If not when do you think it would be okay for her to do so so she doesn't go out of status.

Yes, once she has the receipt notice, she is in a new period of authorized stay and can leave school. She is not allowed to work, and should not travel abroad, until she receives her EAD and Advance Parole.

Thanks! I was just wondering because I need to know by the time we meet up tonight.

Another question if anyone is out there, I was wondering how the affidavit of support works and If I claim myself as a sponsor, and also claim my father as a joint sponsor. I am thinking of doing this as my income, although I calculate it to be enough may not suffice for the support required by law. Note: I do not live at home so it wouldn't be considered a household member (I think.) I was just wondering how to properly do that before I submit all the materials
