F2B - Maintain legal status while your I485 is pending?

[mino90]

Hi everyone,
I am an F1 student which already finished OPT on Feb 2022. I have an approved I-130 and in F2B case. I have filed I485 when the date in the adjustment filling date chart of F2B becomes current, which is on July 2021. Do you know If I have to maintain my F1 status until the final decision date or just until the date when the dates for filling the family-sponsored adjustment of the status application become current, July 2021.
My priority date is August 24, 2016
Thank you so much!

From what I understand you only need to be in status up until the time you file your I-485. And for F2B you also need to be unmarried until you get your GC.

This is from what I read, I don't have the experience to be sure. Good luck and I hope you get your GC soon.
