F1 visa if mother has applied under eb5

[Arshu]

I am 18 yrs old and have been admitted to NYU. My mother has applied for green card under EB5 category in April 2013. Will her application affect my getting an F1 visa? If yes, then what should I do?

It probably won't affect your F1 visa unless she's already in the US before you get the visa. If they reject your F1 visa, you can later join your mother as a derivative to her EB5 (if she's approved and you're still under 21).
