Hi all, I am confused and could use some help here. My mother is here in the US on B2 visa. She has been visiting us lawfully for last 5 years and now her visa is expiring on January 13 2023. We looked at the dates for renewal the b1/b2 and thought it will take almost a year to get the interview. YES, we did find out that she might be able to waive the interview because it will be a renewal of b2 application BUT that was right after we applied her I130 and I485. We think it will be taking almost 2 years before she gets her AOS approved or denied.
NOW she is getting panicked because she has other children back home and she wants to go back soon so she can be there for other children as she has always been for us. I have invested enough money on her both I130 and I485 applications and I am not sure what to do. We are also thinking because she applied for AOS already and even she leaves the country that might make a problem for her to get B2 visa in future. USCIS does not give appointments in person from within the country.
Any advise or help will be much appreciated.
