You still need a valid unexpired driver's license to drive around. Having your I-130/I-485 receipts will not be enough. Did you also submit I-765 and I-131 with your I-485 package? If not, I strongly recommend you submit those ASAP. Filing them now is free, with a copy of your I-485 receipt. File the I-765 under category (c)(9).

Your parents must enter the US before the expiry date listed on their immigrant visas. Visa expiry date is 6 months (maximum) from their visa medical date.

USCIS doesn't call it AP, but AOS cases can get "held for review" after interview. Those cases may be delayed for hours, weeks, or maybe even a year. Examples -- https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/763404-case-held-for-review/?do=findComment&comment=10459152 https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/765817-did-aos-interview-on-42221-and-case-it-still-under-review/ https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/768593-3-year-wait-feeling-exhausted/ https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/714026-getting-my-green-card-one-year-after-my-aos-interview/ Like AP, being "held for review" is a black box. Applicants don't see from their USCIS case status why exactly their cases are delayed.

Having documents in "Accepted" status is not enough. Your case is DQ-ed when you get an email and CEAC inbox message with the words "Documentarily Qualified". Only after getting that DQ message will your case be put in line for interview. How long you have to wait in line depends on the backlog at your consulate.

For visits, yes. But not for immigration. That would involve fraud.

Your parents are definitely allowed to file a new I-130 petition for you, but that petition will have a new PD. The existing F4 PD will not be carried over.

On the CBP Carrier Information Guide, it is described as "USCIS International Operations authorization for parole". The key point is that it is listed in the CBP guide, so you can be assured that it is a valid travel document for boarding. Check here -- https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Mar/2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf Your wife must enter the US before the expiry date listed on the parole document. After she is paroled in, she will have 2 years of legal status in the US as a "parolee", even if she doesn't file I-485. If she had no USC immediate relatives, she would have to claim asylum if she wants to stay legally beyond those 2 years. But because she is married to you, a USC, she has a simpler and much faster path -- file I-485 (based on your marriage) to adjust status from parolee to LPR. No need to file for asylum.

There is no 6-month deadline from DS-260 approval. There is no DS-260 approval in the first place, only DS-260 submission. There is a 1-year deadline from NVC account creation (some time after I-130 approval) to DS-260 submission. But as mentioned above, you can delay this by notifying NVC at least once a year. Also, there is a 6-month maximum duration for the visa medical, not DS-260. The visa will expire on the day the medical expires. After the visa is issued, the immigrant must enter the US before the medical (and visa) expiry date.

Does the I-864A you submitted have the sponsor's handwritten signature & handwritten date on Part 5? And the household member's handwritten signature & handwritten date on Part 6? As in, all 4 items handwritten and not switched places? If you're sure that the form is properly signed and dated, have the petitioner contact their US congressperson/senator to assist in pushing the review through NVC.

There is no such thing as changing category from F4 to F3, because it's not possible for your sibling to change into your parent. If you want to pursue F3 visas instead of F4, you will need to start from scratch, with your parent filing a new I-130 petition for you. Your F3 priority date will be the date listed on the I-130 receipt to be sent to your parent. Your PD from your existing F4 petition will not be carried over to the new F3 petition.
