I don’t understand the negativity.
Since the OP has graduated from a CA high school (AB 540) and is currently in the second year of community college, it is highly likely that the OP is an E-2 dependent and will soon age out of status. The parent’s E-2 renewal wouldn’t do him/her any good.
It is customary for employers to hire a lawyer to assist with employment-based immigration petitions.
Even if this petition was not employment-based, it would be prudent to consult with a lawyer in this case. Too many moving pieces that an ill-executed immigration petition or adjustment of status application could interrupt (e.g. leading to a gap in employment authorization for the E-2 worker).
