As the title says, when my I-485 is accepted by USCIS, am I no longer considered to be in F-1 status?

I assume I should inform my school, but what about my employer?

Do I need to submit the STEM OPT validation form (the one we file every six months) one last time with my employer?

Any advice would be appreciated during this transition.

Hello,

I hope you are all doing well. I m the petitioner filing for my spouse (the beneficiary) and have reached the NVC stage, where I need to upload financial documents, including Form I-864.

In Part 5 Sponsor s Household Size, the form asks:
If you have sponsored any other persons on Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ who are now lawful permanent residents and you are still obligated to support, enter the number here. (NOTE: Enter 0 if you already counted these persons in Item Number 1.)

I have a couple of questions related to this:
1. What does obligated to support mean in this context?
I joint-sponsored two applicants in the past 2 3 years. Should I count them here, or not? They are financially in a good position and do not require my assistance anymore. They are not yet US Citizens.

2. My income is around $130,000 annually (based in NJ,USA).
One friend I joint sponsored his wife and he listed 3 children; the other friend, only sponsored his wife.
Will my income (according to the NVC) be sufficient to sponsor my spouse on my own, or will I need a joint sponsor?

Please advise when most convenient, your guys's assistance is truly appreciated!

Hello, I need help. My wife was laid off after her company was working slowly. We received a DQ and IL. We added a joint sponsor. After IL, should I fill out a new I-864 form for my wife or not? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello guys,

Does my fiance need to get these vaccines listed in the photo I attached in order to get the k1 visa? I am reading some places say he doesn't have to get them, that he can wait to get them when he is in the US and he will need them for adjustment of status. My other question is will they give him the vaccines at medical? Also one of the vaccines requires two doses and you have to wait 6 months to get the 2nd dose so should he get the vaccine now? Those are all my questions thanks in advance

Apologies if this has been asked before. I searched but did not see anything. If someone came to the USA on a Fiance visa, married within the 90-day window, and submitted the proper Adjustment of Status paperwork (in other words, they followed the correct process) ... but while that Adjustment for a Green Card was in-process, they filed for divorce, what would be the outcome? Clearly, they would no longer have their original sponsor and that original adjustment process would be stopped. But assume they then married a different person and then filed a new Adjustment of Status with that second marriage ... would that be allowed? Or would immigration flag this as some sort of fraud. I cannot find an answer to this question. I appreciate any insights.
