Can I file for a student visa after filing I-140 and still safely enter the U.S.?

    Filing I-140 demonstrates an intent to obtain permanent immigrant status. The U.S. generally doesn’t want to issue a nonimmigrant student visa to someone who has shown intent to live permanently in the country — this would likely be a reason your student visa is denied.

    As additional advice, when re-entering, it’s best to prepare your entry consistent with your green card/immigrant intent theme. Obtaining your green card and entering with an immigrant visa is the most recommended option among your choices.
