Yes, it's not against the law.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

You are allowed to complete your study, since it is online and not on campus. You have to have a legal status to take classes on campus though.

I don't think this is true. I think it just depends on the college, but many will allow you to enroll in classes without having adjusted status yet. I'm pretty sure there's no legal issue with this.

You have to have either a student visa (F1 and J1) or you are a USC/LPR to study on campus. Some schools won't let Student Visa holder take online classes. I understand that some colleges do allow you but law only allows legal people to take classes on Campus. Your point is correct depending on the college.

Okay but I'm not asking about studying at a US college or school. I am completing my degree online from my HOME COUNTRY but won't be finished with it before I have to move to the US and get married and do my adjustment of Status.

The reason was to the previous post by @Bryan. You are fine taking online classes. No law against that
