IMMIGRATION - VISA LAW

If you are not in the "immediate relative" category, which I assume you are not, since you have not filed for adjustment of status, then you would be required to maintain a valid non-immigrant status until your priority date becomes current. If not, any periods out of status could lead to a bar to adjustment.

However, you should have an attorney review your documents, since you have not provided enough specific information.

You don't give quite enough information regarding the basis of the filing of the I-130 immigrant visa, but it sounds as though you will likely need to depart the US when your visitor status is up as it doesn't sound as if you are an immediate relative.
