Can you change status from Visitor to Permanent resident?

My Mum is a U.K. citizen and is here on a 3 months waiver program (Visitors visa). I am a U.S. Citizen and would like to apply for her Green Card. Does she have to leave the coutry so I can file for her I-130? Or she can remain here while her green card application is being processed?

Answer:
You are a citizen and your mom can stay after you apply for
her GC you can claim she isn't fit to travel back to UK or
there is no one in UK to look after, even if there was there is
nobody now.

Don't send her back, she needs you and am sure you
love her too. No immigration officer in America should separate a Mom from her son. When so much is going on
regarding the Amnesty bill.

Good luck to you and your mom and my best regards.
Tell her to remember me in her prayers.
yah, she can. Within 3 months of applying for her residency she should get a work permit, also known as a temporary work permit. There shouldn't be too much of a problem if she overstays if she's in processing.
She needs to go back to the UK. Then you file the paperwork and she waits her turn. I hope you get her here soon.
My daughter married a Brit. Following all goverment regulations so the person is not threatened with deportation takes A LONG TIME and oh, probably, so far, over $3,000. Even getting a driver's license with a green card was a *****. Really difficult to witness the beaurocractic process knowing that Mexicans are hop, skip, jumping into the US freely. AND, getting away with it! Don't know why you want to do this - GB is looking better every day as an option to life in the US. Maybe, instead, you should join her there. Wouldn't take long to pick up that cute British accent. I mean my son-in-law can sell an American, particularly females, anything!
