Topic1 Pending AOS

Pending AOS

Can I get married to an F1 while my I-485 family based petition is pending?
Can I petition on her behalf for AOS?
How soon must I inform USCIS of the change in marital status?

Do I need to file an I-130 in this case?

oh by the way, her OPT expires on 05/31

Are the options above available and legal? I asked a reknowned immigration lawyer and he looked at me like I m on crack.

Any ideas on this situation?

If you are waiting for a visa based on your status as a "child" or unmarried son or daughter of an LPR, you will lose out on the visa by marrying before getting a green card approved. If an unmarried child, son or daughter of a USC, you will move to different category for which a visa is unavailable and the I-485 would be voided.
