Immigration AttorneyIf all your family members, including your son, filed their respective DS-260 applications and submitted civil documents with NVC and are awaiting your Immigrant Visa interview to be scheduled by NVC, it is very much unlikely your son''s application for F-1 visa will be successful because F-1 visa requires showing of nonimmigrant intent and ties to home country. If you have already submitted a college application and your son was accepted to a U.S. college, you may defer study for 1 quarter generally but should contact the college to inquire about the deferment rules. In the meantime, you will likely have your Immigrant Visa interview and be able to travel to the U.S. to get admitted as conditional permanent residents.
