Hello guys I have received i-797 receipt since I have filed i-485/i-130(marriage based). So do I qualify to pay in state tuition in Texas. i am currently in f1 status. Also is there any ramification for doing this , since my GC interview will be around april 2012. What i have heard is the international advisor will take me off from SEVIS as soon as I show them the receipt. Is it possible to keep F1 as a back up just in case? thank you
