On point..I also thought of the idea of staying for a year or so then exit US then go back but I believe  there are Immigration laws that I will be violating or so and considering the expenses too..and yeah being liable for US taxes.. before I decided to let my daughter filed the petition for me things were different then but now all I want is a tourist visa that would let me enter US without further obligations on my part.

Op, thanks for clarifying. What laws are you violating when you stay a year and exit? I think there's more to immigration laws you need to learn. There legal ways to leave the US after a year and return safely if you follow the immigration law properly. Yes, you will be reliable for US taxes if you make above 100K or so but you'll have to file your taxes regardless unless you meet the threshold required not to file. 

Anyway, I think it's clear all you want is tourist visa so follow the tourist visa route and abandon your petition and not waste your money on it. All the best securing the tourist visa to visit your family.

2.  I-130s don't expire. 

I thought one needs to communicate with NVC once a year to keep it alive, otherwise it expires. And after you can try to reinstate it within 2 years but it's not a guarantee.

The I-130, itself, is valid as long as the relationship between petitioner and beneficiary has not changed.  You are correct concerning the visa application.

Well op did mention she didn't want to stay in the US for good so taking it literally, what I said is an option. Maybe she hasn't thought about it, so something to think about if getting tourist visa will be difficult for her. I stand by what I'm saying it's an option. There's a threshold on which US citizens living abroad actually have to pay taxes on, I understand but op can look into it. All I'm saying is it's an approach she can consider and it's perfectly legal.
