So far i talked to 2 attorneys and they both agreed that AP clears my EWI and that I can adjust my status without leaving the country. However, one attorney advised me to wait 60 days before submitting I-130 because they might deny it for the reason that I took AP to clear my EWI and not for humanitarian cause. They also mentioned that depending on the adjudicator, they might ask for a waiver for the time I accrued unlawful status before they granted me DACA and traveled with AP. In this case, I can appeal the case to Administrative Appeals Office and, if everything goes as the attorney said, they can hold the the matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly in my favor. I ll probably see one o two more lawyers before I make my mind how I want to proceed and if I need a lawyer. I just don't want a pay too much because I feel my case is not that complicated but I'll let you know guys how it goes.

I wouldnt wait the 60 days, because right now its taking USCIS 6 months to even adjudicate the petition. So file it soon and by the time your interview appt comes up time has already passed.
