We filed for K1 and with the whole long processing time at the USCIS we are considering to apply for F1 study visa for the beneficiary to enter the US, does this pose any harm on our K1 application? 
 

please any help?

How do you propose to overcome the requirement of non-immigrant intent?

Seems probable your K-1 visa interview would be issued before your course completes. Will you interrupt  your course of study to attend your K-1 interview and wait for your K-1 visa?

Resume working in Nigeria. So why are you pursuing a K-1 visa?

Yes I hope to apply for AOS after few months once granted the F1 visa, my employer isn’t aware I have a K1 application with the USCIS.

Aaaah gotcha. Yeah, no, that’s fraud. And the officers know about this plan because you haven’t been the first one to try it. Coming on an F1 visa with the intent to adjust is immigration fraud and you should absolutely refrain from doing it
