WILL I BE GIVING F1 VISA WHILE HAVING AN I-130 PETTION

F-1 student visas are given in the discretion of US consular officers. If they believe that you would maintain nonimmigrant status while in the US and leave if and when your schooling ends, they are entitled to give you the F-1 visa. The consular office will judge your acceptability on the totality of circumstances, not just that your father has filed a petition for you.
