Thanks! Can you direct me to the thread you mentioned?

Hi friends, I am an USC and planning to file I-130 (Counselor processing overseas) for my parents who are Chinese citizens. They currently have B1/B2 visa and plan to come in a few months and stay for a few weeks, then they will go back home. I have some questions: The case seems like straightforward. I am proficient in English. Do I actually need a lawyer? The quote I got ranges from 2k to 7k which I think is insane. If there any concern if they come to US with B1/B2 after I file for I-130? Some sources told me they can be determined that they want to stay here forever but it goes against their visa status. Can I mitigate the risks or just ask them to not come or file after they go back? For 2, what is actually the concern? What's wrong with them trying to enter as visitors and getting GC later? I am confused... Doesn't look like anything wrong to me... Thanks!

Not really. We did I-485/I-130 combo.

lol really? Looks like it is taking a very long time for USCIS. However, they did not waive my interview...I am anxious...

Hi friends, My timelines: April 25, 2022 Interview Was Scheduled January 19, 2022 We are ready to schedule your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, for an interview. November 29, 2021 We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case. November 24, 2021 Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another office for processing. October 28, 2021 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. We submitted very strong evidence: more than 0.5M mortgage, joint bank statements, utility bills, insurance cards, photos, emergency contacts, etc. However, the interview was still not waived, nor did they send RFE. Anyone has similar experiences? Thanks!
