So even with the approved I-130 and the time for GC application has
reached, the parent, instead of taking the immigrant visa, can just
apply for visit visa by informing the consular that she only wants to
visit, right?

I am asking all this so that I can informt he family members there to
be able to decide what visa they should choose for my mother, instaed
of listenting to my oldest sister here and gets immigrant visa for
her.

If my mother ended up taking immigrant visa (they all listen to my
oldest sister too much) and come here for a visit (in her mind, not
knwoignt he requirements) and then leave US and also abadon GC, if she
ever wants to visit again, would she be able to apply for visit visa
easily? Would there be things required to do to about abadoning the
GC?
