Another example for the adopted child by a US citizen to get the B-2 visa to enter US and stay with the adopting US citizen parents for several years:

The point is that the adopted parents (green card holder) can not sponsor the child to get the green card within US, and the child has to leave US and go back to his/her home country to get the immigration visa if he/she wants to immigrate to US later. So, the trip with B-2 to US is temporary (not live in US permanently after this visit), and that that is why many siblings of US citizen can get the B-/1/B-2 visa to enter US after I-130 filing.
The principle for a non-immigration visa such as F-1, B-1/B-2, etc. is that you can not you have the immigration intent when you apply for the visa and when you enter US using the visa. But you may change your mind some time later. That is why many of us came to US using F-1 visa, then got green card some time later. Many parents of US citizens entered US using B-2 visa, and then got the green card some time later.
