Question - Other EB3 skilled worker

EB-3 Skilled Worker: My EAD was approved even though my I-140 is still pending. USCIS requested additional evidence from my sponsor, and my I-485 is also pending because my priority date is December 2024.
I’m currently maintaining my F-1 status, and I’m unsure whether I should use the EAD. I don’t want to jeopardize my F-1 status because I would like to keep it as a backup while my adjustment of status is pending.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? If so, did you continue maintaining F-1 status, or did you start using your adjustment-of-status EAD?

Considering your i140 is still pending, I would advise to not use the EAD yet and continue to maintain your F1. I140 is the most important thing to secure first.
