Probably not

Once you're out of status, the DSO will terminate your SEVIS record, which USCIS will see. It's one thing to quit school AFTER getting married and sending out your AOS packet, as you will be in pending status, but to quit school prior to even getting married or sending off the AOS packet is not a good idea.

Which people and why should it take longer?

People have to understand that lawyers are NOT above the law nor can they change the law.

Even if you entered the US legally, if you did not fulfill your obligations as F1 Student, then you are out of status.

As soon as you stop attending school and the school reports you as not attending you become subject to being picked up, detained, and deported. Will that happen? No one knows.

If you manage to remain in the US (out of status) until you file the I-130/I-485 your overstay will be forgiven.

One post is returned to the thread (below), after an unnecessary generalization was edited out. In addition, a couple of typos in the remaining text have been corrected.

Once you stop going to school, you are out of status. Until you are married with an AOS, you can be picked up and deported.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Save yourself some stress and get legally married now, and file for AOS ASAP. Continue planning the big wedding party for March if you want.

I'm the USC petitioner.

Who knows what will happen. If you are asking if you can get away with being out of status for about eight months and then come back in status doing AOS, we can't predict if you can get away with it. If immigration officials really want to pick you up and send you home, they can do that.

Some people have done such things before I guess and successfully adjusted status, being out of status then marrying USC. In your case you have already done AOS from visitor to student, now you don't even want to maintain that status. So, who knows how the interviewing officer is going to look at your case!
