Application for JI Visa in conjunction with I-130
My wife has submitted an I-130 on behalf of my stepdaughter who has a chance
to come to the US from Thailand for an internship with an architect firm.
Will the pending I-130 effect the processing of the JI visa? My
stepdaughter is over 21 and single.
Thank you for any advice that can be provided.

Well, it is unlikely that she will get a J1.
The I-130 indicates immigration intent, and to get a J1, immigration intent
is not allowed.

Can the I-130 be withdrawn and pursue the JI?

I doubt that it helps. Although I don't know the form for the J1, the
question on the forms usually is: Has an immigrant petition *ever* been
filed for you?
Since this would have to be answered with Yes, she would need especially
strong evidence that she no longer has immigration intent. With the mother
in the US, that's probably pretty hard to show.
On top of that, it usually is hard for single young females from certain
countries to get a non-immigrant visa in the first place, because it is known
that a lot of these women, once in the US, marry a US citizen and stay.
So, she would have to show very strong ties to her home country to convince
the consular officer that she is going to leave the US and go back to her
home country once the internship is over.
