F1 student got married and transfer school? or take semester off?

[mocha0221 8]

Hello.

I am F1 student since Aug 2021.

I got married to a US citizen in Feb 2022. We filed AOS along with AP, EAD few days ago.

Now my husband have to move to other state(8hrs flight away) from this August for 2 years due to his work. 

What can I do with my school? I assume I have few option below...?

1) Transfer college from next Fall 2022 semester? (Is it possible to change school after filled AOS? I-20, SEVIS, VISA number will be changed from what I declared on my AOS application?)

2) Just quit school and come with my husband. (I guess it look bad on my interview day if I quit school after a year of F1 entry)

3) Take one semester off(I saw few post saying F1 student are eligible to take one semester off) and see the AOS process. Then going back to school or quite after.

4)Do not risk at all. Just keep going to school.

 

Also, after what procedure I will be eligible to be a resident student? (Tuition wise)

 

Thank you so much.

You can quit. But the problem with that is if things fail, you've long lost your F1.

Thank you for your reply.

How about if I'd like to avoid this risk?

Is there any other way?

Do you know is there any problem f I transfer school after applied AOS?

You can transfer anytime. 

 

I mean, if you're 100% sure your relationship is strong and won't crumble, you can quit and save the fees because once you get your GC you're eligible for FAFSA...if you're not sure, then keep up with school
