Need help! Can I stay in USA to wait for the interview if my F1 status get dropped

Hi everyone,

I have a situation that I applied for adjustment of status 485 almost 2 months ago (07/08). And I was still an F1 student back then. But my F1 might get dropped due to some issue at school. Can I still staying in the States to wait for my interview or do I have to leave immediately?
Also, if I can stay without F1 status, does my husband still able to add me to his car and health insurance? Is my driver license still valid or I can drive at all?
Thank you so much for helping me. I dont know much about this and i dont know where to find these answer.

Did you receive the NOAs from USCIS? If yes, you are in pending status so you're good. You can't leave the country until you receive the AP. However, I, too, have been advised to maintain my F-1 status despite the AoS pending status because if for some reason your petition/application is denied, you will be out of status and probably ordered removal. As for the DL, it should still be valid during this time.

Yes. I got all 4 receipts. I want to keep my F1 status too, but I am about to graduate after one more semester and my school wont let me delay it like add extra classes or so. And my advisor told me that since I applied for Adjustment of Status, I no longer can apply for OPT or so.
