Filing I-485 on OPT: How it affects your student visa and work options in the US
International graduates in the US can file for Adjustment of Status (I-485) while on OPT, without automatically losing F-1 status. However, filing signals immigrant intent, impacting travel and work. Using the I-485-based EAD ends F-1 status, making careful planning crucial for a smooth transition to permanent residency.
