F1 status, AOS through marriage.

Hello everyone, I’m not sure how common this is, but basically I came to USA with J1 and then adjusted status to F1, I’ve been on this status for some time. Me and my partner which is US citizen are planning to get married soon. After I start the process do I still have to keep that F1 status ? I have a friend which worked unauthorized and got married, but still kept her f1 status until she received the greencard. (Even though she violated that status, her sevis and status were still valid I guess)

Thank you!
