You’re misunderstanding. Her family  was already planning a visit for her OTHER immediate family that lives here. In the same city as us.  Yes it would be strange if someone had a visit to see someone that was on holiday, but that wasn’t the case. At all. 

Gotcha. It’s an easy misunderstanding to make - the onus will be on you to make sure the interviewing officer doesn’t make the same one. Good luck and plan/research carefully.

 It took some convincing from me, but her entire family is here. Her only family, so it’s not that outlandish to leave and not go back. Nobody is left in Macedonia for her. I see your sarcasm and it’s not appreciated. 

I'm not accusing.  I am saying this all seems too illogical and too convenient....but my opinion is irrelevant.  My advice is to get those  I-485s submitted before their I-94s expire.  Otherwise, they are out of status and subject to deportation.

They are not legally entitled to attend public school 

 

At the very least they should have an NOA1 prior to attending...

Correct as per this from DHS

 

https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/2017/05/b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-to-enroll-in-school

 

If you are a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant and wish to study at a U.S. school, you must file a Form I-539, “Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status,” with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to change to either an F-1 or M-1 status and pay the required fee and include the required documents listed in the instructions

 

but still many states allow illegals to enter primary schools in the best interest of the child

I think the US Supreme Court would disagree.  This issue was settled a long time ago. 

Can you provide evidence? I believe there is a gray area in the sense that they could attend the school BUT that doesn't mean it can't have consequences in different parts of the law IE immigration law. If they attend a US public school on a B2 visa in the eyes of the immgration officials that would constitute commiting visa fraud as pointed out by @JeanneAdil

 

The idea is is that they can attend for the welfare of the child (what I think you may be referring to with the supreme court ruling, how children of illegal aliens can attend public school). Does not mean they are immune from other parts of the law

Children can adjust status and attend school. My son adjusted with me in Minnesota in 2016 and started middle school when we figured we were not going home, no issues. (My Father in law was dying and I didn't want to leave my husband after our vacation) My divorce document stated I had full custody of my son and could travel or move anywhere.

 

Only difference is I was already married to my spouse (2014 and already in the CR1 process) when we adjusted we already had an approved I-130, just waiting for the interview at the Embassy in Dublin. We adjusted from VWP. I have no problem with my son attending the local school as my husband paid local taxes.

 

(Our changing track added over a year till we had Green card in hand, but it was worth it to us as we were here for Dads final days and were together for support).

My final thoughts for the OP. You have a complicated case, if you go down the route of the AOS it will be a long process and you are going to have a cloud of uncertainty over you while this processes. A CR1 for you would be much more straight forward. But I wish you luck going forward
