NOTICE OF PENDING PERMANENT RESIDENCY

F-1 students who have filed Form I-485, adjustment of status to permanent residency, should inform International Student Advising

and Services (ISAS). Filing Form I-485 notifies the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of your desire to

change to permanent residency and will affect your “non-immigrant” intent. During the period of time that the

I-485 is pending, you will be a pending Adjustment of Status (AOS) applicant and there is some question about whether or not you

may also maintain your F-1 student status. Since this is not a clearly defined area, you should discuss the issue with an attorney. If

you do decide to maintain your F-1 student status while the AOS is pending, you will need to follow F-1 regulations regarding

maintaining status which includes full-time registration during the academic year.

Unless you register full-time and otherwise maintain your F-1 student status, our office must terminate your F-1 record in SEVIS. We

will provide you with a printed version of the termination which will show the termination reason as: “otherwise failing to maintain

status: I-485 adjustment of status pending”.

If you choose to maintain your F-1 status and register full-time, we will continue to update your F-1 record in SEVIS until you can

show proof of the I-551 stamp or your green card. Once we have evidence that the USCIS has approved your application for

adjustment of status, we will terminate your F-1 SEVIS record to reflect the change of status approval.

If you have questions about your decision whether to maintain full-time registration while your adjustment of status to permanent

residency is pending, please consult an immigration attorney.
