What would be my US immigration status as an F1 visa holder after concurrently filing for the EB-5 visa? What would be my immigration rights? Can I continue my studies while I wait for approval? Can I complete my studies as an EB-5 investor?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYou can maintain your student status while the I-526/I-485 concurrent filing is pending but you can’t travel outside the U.S. without the advance parole travel permit or you will abandon the I-485.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour status in the U.S. will be I-485 pending and F-1, but if you use your EAD to work or advance parole for travel, your status will be changed to AOS or AD (pending for adjustment of status). Nevertheless, you can still study in the U.S.
