    It sounds like it was a GC renewal, not initial GC. Just days before their trip, she said he received his recently renewed Green Card.

    I did it after three years. It wasn't too much more paperwork. Major bonus is being done with USCIS forever.

    You may need a joint sponsor. Make sure to review income levels for Medicaid in your state for the household of three (or whatever is your household size). Yes, your husband's income will be counted when eligibility for Medicaid is determined.

    I think it makes sense to bring parents who are in their fifties or early sixties and are still healthy. They can still work for ten years and pay into Medicare. My friend brought her Mother and Mom got a housekeeping job at the hotel and worked for ten years. The plan for her was to earn small SSA benefit and go back to her County. Mom actually likes living in US, is now retired and staying here for a foreseeable future.

    I think a lot of new US Citizens are sponsoring parents just because they can. More thought should be put into whether this is a good idea for all involved. Healthcare cost is a huge consideration. Also, elderly parent often has bigger support system in their home country. The only people I saw adjust well are the once with only child that immigrated to US. I can't even imagine bringing my Mom here. Three of my siblings reside near her as well as extended family.

    Those who entered with inspection (student, tourist, ECT.) can usually adjust status without leaving US even if they overstayed. Those who entered without inspection wouldn't be able to adjust based on current laws. New rule would allow whose who entered without inspection to adjust status without leaving.

    I agree, but I am a bit confused why OP's timeline doesn't show proces of removing conditions. Just making sure he is aware of this step.

    When you adjusted status, did you receive 10 year or 2 year LPR card?

    You should also research cost of medical insurance for your in laws. In most states they wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid. Unless they are still young enough to work in US. Possibly get jobs with insurance and eventually earn 40 quarters needed for Medicare.

    What about living will and life insurance, health insurance, emergency contact at work? Try to find more documents.

    Why would you leave US for so long while your application is pending? I wouldn't leave again until getting unrestricted LPR card.
