hi there,
my question is- i came here on Student dependant visa ( f2) and my husband has filed for green card and being a dependant mine was also filed...i got my receipt as well as my EAD. but i am willing to take admission for part time or full time LL.M then what would be my visa statues? is it changed or still it is F2? do i need to take F1 visa from that college? bze i think on f2 status i cannot take admission... plz reply i dont want to lose my admission this yr.
Thank you.
Ok, if I understand correctly, your I-485 has been filed, correct? Did both of you submit your I-485 applications at the same time?
The bad news is you cant study towards a full time degree on F-2 and cant apply for F-1 because thats a nonimmigrant visa. The good news is that with a status of "AOS pending" you should be allowed to study. Contact the specific college and ask for what documentation they need to accept you as a student with "AOS pending" status.
Not to confuse you, but if your husband didnt violate F-1 status and you didnt violate F-2 status, you might both still be in valid F-1 and F-2 statuses even though your AOS is pending. However, if either one of you decides to violate your status (start to work on EAD, or your husband doesnt enroll full time, or you start full time college) then your status goes to "AOS pending."
yes both of us filed our I485 at the same time...and my fingerprint has done 2 months before..

f2- greencard in process- want to study
