Out of status after filing

[NguoiVietNam]

Hi everyone!

I am an F-1 student. I just out of status after the biometric appointment. So my concern is there are any problems to me or to the application process? I am so worried right now. Hope to hearing from everyone soon.

It depends on what is your petitioner's status, USC or green card holder.

Your pending application keeps you in status. Not student status, though. No need to worry. Just don't go to school or get a job or leave the country until you have their permission.

I will be in the same situation soon.
Hopefully you won't have any issue. When I first filed, my application got rejected because of a payment problem, had I terminated my I-20 right after having the biometric appointment, I don't know what I would've done to file again. I guess it's a risk that we take.

Are you married to a usc?

Well, as far as your I-485 is in Pending state and then your visa expired, thats fine. Because, "Pending Adjustment of Status" itself is a valid and legal status. I have faced this. Though, my case is EB.

This is not a legal opinion and only my personal thought.

Going out of status while I-485 is pending doesn't affect the I-485, and this is true for all categories (it doesn't matter if you're married to a USC).

Furthermore, since you are in the Immediate Relative category (spouse, parent, or unmarried under-21 child of USC), you didn't even need to be in status before filing I-485.
