case.
the board in MATTER OF HOSSEINPOUR,clearly stateted "
We now hold that the filing of an application for adjustment of status is not necessar-ily inconsistent with the maintenance of lawful nonimmigrant status."
Meaning, filing 485 does not terminate F1. As long as the applicant's F1 has not expired.
The appeal was denied because the respondent's F1 had expired and he had not filed for an extention.
