I know this question might have been answered quite a bit, but I just received my i821 approval notice with the following information on it:

Now, my Extended OPT expires in November 2015 and my Labor certification for GC is in progress. Do I still have to go to school and maintain my F1 status or can my status be changed from TPS?

toitjindagi_ Just wondering what are you planning on doing? I am on same the boat. My Eb2 is just getting started and my extended opt is valid till May 31, 2016. I am also thinking of not going back to school after opt expiration and will like to hear from your personal experience.
