applying for family based GC and F1 simultaneously?

[nikhil_ck]

Hello all,
My sister is a US citizen and she wants to apply for a family based GC for her brother. Also, I want to apply for a student visa. Is it possible to do both at the same time?

Yes.

However, after you already have a green card application pending, it would be very difficult for you to get F1 visa because you have already proved your immigrant intent and F1 visa does not allow dual intent.
