Can I apply for a J1 visa while being in the process of a K1 visa?

Hello everyone!
So I'm from Argentina, and I've been in a relationship with an american man who lives in the US for 2.5 years now. While we're waiting for me to finish university, I've been doing J1 Work&Travel programs to the US during my summers to get to experience US culture first hand, and to spend time with him. Long story short, my question is: can I be in the process of obtaining a K1 visa, while also applying a J1 visa? From what I've read so far, K1s have long waiting times in between stages, and can take a long time to be finalized: during that waiting time, could I petition and use a J1 visa to work in the US for the winter season?

I apologize if this isn't the best place to ask but it's a pretty specific question and googling told me I can apply for 2 visas at the same time, but not if I'm free to enter and work in the US while waiting on a K1.
Thank you!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
