Attending a online master program after applying for I-485

USCIS currently does not accept 100% online programs under its F-1 student program. The best path is to file form I-485 assuming that you have been in the country for a while and then inform the school that you have filed for adjustment of status in the US. The school should allow you to enroll under the program. As you will be adjusting status as the spouse of a US citizen, any violation of status in attending school without USCIS F-1 approval would be forgiven.
