I currently live in the US. I am under the international student visa status. However, my visa has expired and I would like to renew it. All my documentation is good, with my active I-20. My question is, I have applied for the I-130 alien relative. My mom received her green card this year and I applied so that in the future I can visit her. Does that I-130 application prevent me from renewing my F-1 status? If so, what is my best option?
