I-130/I-485 Concurrent and B-2 Visa Extension Question

I am a US citizen. My parents are here visiting on a B2 visa. In Apr-2021, I applied for their I-130 petition online, got the online receipt (I-797) and then attached that to I-485 application bundle for concurrent filing that I mailed in a couple of days later.

It's been over a month since all of that, and neither my checks have been cashed nor have they sent out a receipt for the I-485. My parents' I-94 6-month stay duration expires in July 2021 (their B-2 visitor visa is still active for the next 2 years).

  1. I've learned that if i receive a I-797 for their adjustment of status, my parents should be able to stay in the USA even after their I94 expires until their case gets decided (approved or rejected). Can you please confirm this?

  2. What happens if my checks aren't cashed yet and I haven't received any I797s yet from USCIS, and their I94 is about to expire? Do they have to return back to their country or can they continue staying? Do I have to file for an extension of stay?

Please share your insights. Thanks!

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
