Immigration AttorneyGenerally, if you file an I-526 petition and indicate you will consular process for an immigrant visa in your home country rather than adjust status in the U.S., you may get admitted to the U.S. while traveling on a valid F-1 visa and if you have a strong F-1 student record. There is never a 100 percent guarantee that this in fact will be true at the U.S. border. The best option is to always be truthful with government officials and to apply for EB-5 sooner rather than later since India will experience an immigrant visa backlog sometime in the not-so-distant future, as it is currently estimated.
