Ok so our NGO law guy put me in touch with a few America based immigration lawyers who in turn offered me suggestions for a few law firms that specialize in green cards/US immigration.

Just got off skype with one of them, and... red flag dude, jesus loving christ. I may just be a simple European who doesn't know how this works but after explaining how we would go ahead filing in Greece where we live and work, and hopefully keeping the whole process contained to happening here in-country she also casually suggested that we hold off on applying, go 'home' to the US (with return tickets etc) and then instead decide to stay and apply for adjustment of status after two months in-country as a tourist.

As a Norwegian travelling to the US for a half year isn't illegal or anything, but she -unprompted- started going on about how to lie to customs if they should ask, etc etc. Freaked me out a little bit. How common is this and is she just being conscientious and covering all the options or should I just stop talking to these people? They came highly recommended too, which is what's making me hesitant. I mean, if I COULD do that it might be way easier to live off savings for a few months, but it just sounded sketchy.
