He is referring to parents who crossed the border only, not visa over-stays. And if I'm not mistaking he said that that is how current law works. Since I am an over-stay I don't have much knowledge about the options that people who entered illegally currently have to adjust, but I do know that over-stays can be petitioned by a US citizen son/daughter over 21 and adjust in just 6 months. My friend is petitioning her mom.

No worries, immigration laws are convoluted,, I would think each case are evaluated on a case by case basis and under their own circumstances,
but for sakes of good order and uniformity in our cause, we can say up to 25 years for D.A. Beneficiaries to petition for their parents only.
