Hello Everyone , 

 

I have a question My wife is on F1 VISA and she"ll be graduating in December this year . After that she"ll be on OPT ( Optional Practical Training ) .

 

Is it ok to apply for Adjustment of  status ( Form I 485 )  when her PD is current ? Or she have to get an H1 visa to be on legal status  ?

 

Thanks
