Is it possible for parents to have an immigration interview in the US (instead of one the Embassies outside of the country)?

[dzt 1]

I am US citizen by naturalization.

Just curious, if it`s possible to change the status from non-immigrant visa to immigrant visa for my parents and have their interviews somewhere in the US instead of the Embassy outside of the US (as it usually happens in case of I-130/IR-5 scenario).

If yes, what do I need to do?

change status of visa ? type of visa? with one piece of paper on 1 day duration?

tourist to something else ? no. cannot shift.

if your parents are in the usa on a tourist visa, then YOU are allowed to file the big adjustment of status packet, I-130 + I-485 plus plus plus.

Thank you for quick reply.

They have US visas b1/b2. They are eligible to stay in the US another half year. And at the same time we are in the process of getting their immigrant visas (IR-5 process).
