Waiting time after arriving US with B2 before applying for adjustment of status

[daved]

My parents have an active B2 visa. If they decide to apply for a green card (family based, I am a citizen) after arriving US, how long should they wait before filing for adjustment of status? Also, can they apply at the same time, or does one parent has to wait until the other parent's GC is approved? Thanks!

I also have this question. But I don't thinks it's more than half of year

They should not enter on B2 with preconceived intent to apply for Adjustment of Status during that stay

They have no such intent. The question is if they later decide to apply for GC (e.g. for health reasons), how many months into their stay are they allowed to apply.

Oh, I see what you mean. It's not up to them to decide to apply for adjustment of status. Only if circumstances compel them
