回复：Do nothing - 回复：父母移民问题请教 -- mailed application too early

Thanks a lot for the answer.

We are thinking about doing one of the two things:

1. use I-824 to convert it to consular process.
2. hire a lawyer to go with my parents for the interview if we continue the I-485 route and an interview is called.

We would great appriciate it if you can comment on these 2 approahes.

More info:

I130 and I485 concurrent filing
parents arrived on 4/4/2013
form signed on 4/24/2013
mailed on 5/13/2013
INS received on 5/17/2013

Thanks,
