Does your friend have USC or LPR grandparent(s)? If not, the parents do not qualify for the waiver.

Nope, unfortunately her grandparents are not USCs.

Who got you the waiver?  A US citizen spouse?

Yes. We got married 2007.

Your situation is different from the OP's parents.

You were eligible for a waiver for entering without inspection because you had a qualifying relative, a US citizen spouse.

 

The OP's parents who entered without inspection do not have a qualifying relative, a US citizen or LPR spouse or parent, to file for a waiver.

Can someone who entered the US illegally by crossing the U.S. border and have remained in the U.S. for over a few decades apply for a green card or citizenship, being inside the U.S.?

 

I have a friend whose parents entered the U.S. illegally more than a few decades ago. They have never left the U.S. ever since.

She told me that their parents are thinking to pay more than $20,000 for an attorney they found, who claims that they can still apply for a green card and get the legal residence here in the U.S. without having to leave this country.

 

If I am not mistaken, once they leave this country, they will get a 10-year entry ban because they have illegally stayed in the U.S. for more than 180 days.

Is what the attorney is saying even true? 

 

Since I am not a professional, I don't know if that's legit or scam, but I am close to the parents too and I don't want them to pay so much money if that's a scam.

Does anyone know if that's even possible, and if so, what kind of processes do they have to take? 

 

 

Pls google search about your  case, i heard in the news recently its something like $5,500 fine for immigration cases like you. APPLY for PR & pay the fine. Just keep on searching the rights answers. 20k is too much its a scam.

You're making things up.

 

Google and post this information that you "heard."    You can't because you made it up.
