What should my student status be if I have a pending EB-5 I-485 case?

It is nearly always better to maintain nonimmigrant status until your adjustment of status is approved. Therefore, you should consult with an immigration attorney as to whether you should continue in F-1 status. Most likely that will be the best option, just in case there is an issue with your I-485.

Until your application is approved you will remain an international student and will keep paying a higher tuition, unlike domestic students. Consult your international student advisor for additional information to help guide you.

It appears that you are an "I-485 applicant" since it appears that you are no longer in F-1 status and you are not yet in permanent resident status.

If going to school you are still a student, but you should be advised that you are a permanent resident pending as well and see what that the tuition rate is.

You are an applicant for adjustment of status. The school should consider you a domestic student and not an international student.

You should get in touch with the international student services office of the graduate school for proper advice. Through the I-485 application, you have filed an adjustment of status application to essentially become a permanent resident of the United States. F-1 is an non-immigrant visa and at this stage it is most likely unnecessary. Hopefully, the university will treat you as a resident of the U.S. and qualify you for in-state resident tuition as long as the petition was filed over a year ago.

You are in an authorized period of stay with a pending I-485. You are neither a permanent resident nor an F-1 student currently unless you are continuing to maintain your underlying F-1 status. You will need to check with a particular educational institution whether a resident tuition may be applicable in your situation under your state rules.

That will depend on how your school handles this in-between status of a pending immigrant. I am not sure what their policies are.

I would suggest you contact the international student office of that graduate school to find out. Since you just filed I-485, you are not a conditional green card holder. Your current status is AOS, i.e. adjustment of status.

If your I-485 has been filed and is pending, you are now in the U.S. as a pending adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident status. You should have also filed and be issued a work permit (EAD) and advance parole which would allow you to work/travel during this period.

Having filed your application for adjustment of status based upon your approved EB-5 petition on Form I-526, you will be deemed to be a pending applicant for lawful permanent residency. Therefore, you do not need a student visa, and in fact, technically you would not be eligible for same since you do not intend to return to your home country. Rather, since you are applying to become a lawful permanent resident, you can certainly request and hope that the university may treat you as a resident of the U.S., rather than as an international student. To some extent, you are still in mid-stream, and while you can attend the school as a pending applicant for lawful permanent resident, depending upon the school, they may not treat you as a resident until your application is approved, and you are a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.

Depending on which state you in you may be able to qualify for in-state residence tuition. If you have an adjustment pending and your petition was filed at least 366 days earlier, you may be able to establish residence. There are several factors including your age and parents status.

Your status is adjustment of status pending. Neither an international student nor a green card holder.

So long as you remain a full-time student you can be in F1 status.
