Hola Nowshad

No, como si cannot be followed by the present subjunctive. It could be followed by the present indicative though, but this would take a very different meaning, very idiomatic. We have a lesson on this. Have a look.

Gracias Inma.  Este frase me confunde.  Pienso que " It is always followed by the imperfect subjunctive."
