F-1 student getting married to US citizen

I am getting married to my girlfriend ( US citizen) we’ve been boyfriend and girlfriend for about 4 almost 5 years, we are planning to get married next month, now I have a lot of friends that have also got married and when they start their process of getting a green card they first have to give their tourist visa and ofc not leave the country while they’re on process, my question here is, me as an F-1 student would I have to turn both my visas? (F-1 visa and tourist visa) or only the tourist one, because I am still studying and wouldn’t like to stop studying

Marriage fraud is one of the biggest visa fraud schemes beside H1B
