Yes, will be allowed to stay with this pending. I would file an I-765 along with this, this will produce an EAD card which will serve as evidence of legal presence. And again do not attempt to travel out of country while this pending without an AP document from filing the I-131 Thank you for your help!

Thanks for all the help everyone. Just a crazy question. If we file this paperwork ASAP, she is allowed to stay in the US as it is pending, right?

Hi everyone! This is the original poster. I have some updates and some additional questions. I could really use the help. My girlfriend ended up getting accepted to another program and was able to extend her I-20 through February. Now she is facing having to go back to China again. We plan to get married because we really are ready at this point. We wanted our marriage to be pure and we're ready to be married faithfully now. Does anyone know how the process will work after we get married. She is here in the US on a Student Visa. I assume we will adjust status. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

Hi Everyone, Here is my story: I met my current girlfriend while we were in graduate school in the US. We started dating in graduate school. Basically, if she didn't maintain a 3.0 GPA average, she would be academically dismissed. For two semesters, her GPA stayed at 2.85 so the University dismissed her. In dismissing her, her student visa was revoked and she was forced to return to China. This has been brutal. So we are going to see if things can work long distance for a while and then seek out paths for her to come to the US. She is from a pretty wealthy family from what our Chinese friends in graduate school have said. We are open to any visa type or whatever path necessary. I am willing to marry her in China if that is necessary. Basically, I would like her to be here with me while she looks for a job in the US. She is an experienced finance professional in China. From what I understand, it is easier to find a job in the US if the company is not required to provide sponsorship. Basically, I am in a situation in which I really don't even know what questions to ask or what to do. This whole thing has really been a hard pill to swallow. We talked about me going to China, but I am not going to be an English teacher and I don't speak much Mandarin. I work in Corporate Tax so I think the opportunities are fairly bleak for my situation. Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
