Not sure if you meant this for me but... I have no idea!

If you know the answer is no, then why ask?

It sounds like you are unsure of your attorney?

No. First, you must be outside the US to get the F-1 visa - and you do *NOT* want to leave the US until the I-130 is sorted out. Second, you have already demonstrated that you have immigrant intent... something not allowed prior to an F-1 approval.
