School Marriage Green Card

I have just married my American boyfriend, and now that we have our marriage certificate, we are going through the green card process.

So here is my question. I am on an F-1 VISA and have 12 college credits. I am going to be busy with VISA procedures, etc. I would like to destroy my I-20 and switch my status to I-797C if possible. The international office at the college does not recommend destroying the I-20 until I receive my green card. But I can switch to I-797C and stay. I was told.

Personally, I would like to change my status before I submit my green card paperwork and continue to take classes at the college for 12 credits or less.

Is there any risk there ？

I would appreciate it if you have had a similar experience or have any information.

As the President changes, so do the laws, so you should check with a professional lawyer, not ask the school or ask questions here.

Even if my F1visa expires, I can stay in the U.S. by continuing my I-20 and continuing to attend school.
If you destroy your I-20, what will happen to your F1visa student visa status ？ You could stay in the US for 60 or 90 days.

In your case, your visa status to stay in the U.S. is F1 visa, and if you destroy the I-20 issued by the school,
if you want to go to college, it is not necessary to destroy the I-20, and
if you leave college, you can stay with I-797C. I wonder if this is the case...
I wonder if it means that the college doesn't want you to leave ？

As for the green card, it took 2 years for my friend to get it.
Governments have been getting stricter in the last few years, so maybe it will be slow if you are unlucky.

I think you should have your fiancee look at USCIS and consider it carefully.
