You are right that a grandparent cannot come to be a nanny. That is to say that if the grandparent is coming to watch the child all day while the parent works in place of hiring a nanny or day care, that is not what a B-2 is intended for and people are denied visas for that.
But the OP did not say that was the case so you have no reason to assume so. Coming to help in the form of providing moral support and changing diapers, helping with laundry, etc is not the same thing. It's being a grandparent.

There should seriously be a rule against crying fraud at everyone on this forum. You don't know the situation, and you are making up a rule that being a grandma is "working" as a nanny. It's just not true.

You were aware of the J-1 residency requirement when you came to the U.S. right? The J-1 waiver is a matter of grace and fairness; the U.S. doesn't have to offer it at all. It's hard to feel much sympathy for you given that you haven't even made a case why you should get one, whether by your home country's consent or extreme hardship to your citizen spouse.

Why would the house be a total loss?

I can't imagine your immigration status would be disqualifying for a VA loan, but I've never dealt with a VA-backed loan. I think you should definitely explain that although you are in the U.S. as a non-permanent legal resident in the L-1 category, you are adjusting status to lawful permanent resident.
It's possible the mortgage consultant just doesn't understand the difference between lawful permanent resident and a non-permanent resident who is here lawfully.

It's only three years for the spouse of a U.S. citizen.

Parents of US citizens are immediate relatives, which means that a visa is immediately available for them. It only takes as long as USCIS needs to process the petition and for the local consulate to issue the visa, which could be 8 months-1 year or so.

The I-130 approval won't hold you up. What will hold you up is seeking a request for waiver of inadmissibility using I-601. This is done at the consulate after the I-130 is approved. Typically, your interview will be scheduled at the consulate and the visa will be officially denied due to inadmissibility, then you can file I-601 to seek a waiver. That could take longer, you'll have to ask others who have done it at your particular consulate how long.

No, don't worry about it. Not all of the forms that USCIS makes include the middle name. The last I-797C I had had at least the middle initial, but not the full name.

You are incorrect. We have all explained that adjustment of status from VWP is possible. But the I-485 instructions have nothing to do with entering with immigrant intent on a non-immigrant status, which is prohibited by law.
You're seeing things the way you want to see them and not how they are, so we're not going to be able to help you.

I'm a lawyer, and this isn't an accurate statement regarding accessory to fraud. Please keep the answers to the question stated by the OP and avoid accusing others of breaking the law.
There's no way for OP to find out, and if he finds himself obsessing about it he should get some outside help from a counselor.

Okay, it's clear you're being abused. Find help from an organization that helps abused spouses and/or organizations that help immigrants. You have to work up the courage to help yourself or no one on this board can help you.

I doubt ICE or CBP would have anything to say about whether a Green Card holder is inadmissible. I am guessing that their response would be something along the lines of, "why do you ask are you inadmissible?"

You knew the wait was going to be longer than 5 months, so why did you bother calling already? You also know the estimates from this site, so what other information could you expect to get?

Since this got a star, I have to comment on a slight error. (This thread is a train wreck as it is). Once the AOS is accepted for initial review, the applicant begins a NEW period of authorized stay and the overstay clock stops. The immigrant is not out of status while AOS is processing. Any time between I-94 expiry (not marriage) and NOA1 date for AOS is out-of-status days. The overstay will be irrelevant/forgiven for the approval of AOS, but the immigrant should keep track of how many days they overstay. If they have 180 days or more, they cannot use AP because leaving the US without GC will trigger a ban.

All this talk of being deported in this thread has derailed the actual question and topic I think.
There is no deadline to file for AOS, but you should file as soon as possible. Yes, once her I-94 expires she begins to accrue overstay, but while it is unlikely your wife would be detained by ICE, it is a remote possibility that people posting in this thread wanted you to be aware of. Even if detained, she would not be ordered deported since she is eligible to file for AOS. All if this has a small chance of happening though, especially if you do not live in a border state or travel through CBP checkpoints. It is not as if she will be out flagging down ICE to let them know she has overstayed her I-94 and has not filed for her AOS yet.
Lots of people file within a short time(couple weeks to a couple months) after their I-94 expires, and they are just fine. Just gather all the documents you need, and send in her AOS paperwork as soon as you possibly can. She will not be able to work or re-enter the US if she needs to travel outside the US. If she did not obtain her SSN before her I-94 expired, then she will also need to have the EAD or green card before she can acquire one.

Sorry if you had read the prior posts on this thread, you would know this is false. The I-94 form shows the expiration date of the legal stay. After that, the stay is unlawful until the application for adjustment of status is submitted.
Also your sentence doesn't make sense. Removal of conditions happens after you become an LPR, and has nothing to do with the sponsor's burden to support the alien.
I suggest this thread be closed to recent further misinformation.

This is what I counted...
I-130
1 for USC, 1 for beneficiary (which go with the G-325A)
I-485
2 for beneficiary
I-131
2 for beneficiary
I-765
2 for beneficiary
None for affidavit of support or medical exam. Can anyone confirm? You could send in extras to be sure.

No, if he isn't a student anymore, his current status has expired and he is out of status. In addition, the out of status automatically voids the student visa. In addition, he is accruing unlawful presence for the purpose of the 3yr/10yr ban.
