Mother on Visitor Visa/Can I apply for GC from US?

[immihelp]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am an US citizen and sponsoring my mother. I applied for her GC and have a query.

The timeline of her application is as follows.


Applied on June 2008 for Consular processing in India
Paid Affidavit of Support (AOD) in June 2008
Submitted I-864 forms and supporting documents
Submitted DS-3032 and paid Immigrant Visa (IV) fee in Nov 2009
Sending the Packet 3 items now..

My mother is now here is USA legally for few months. Can I get the GC processed from here instead of in India? If so what is the process. Also any drawbacks of doing it in USA?

Could you please advice

Thank you for the help...

You will have to file for Adjustment of Status. https://www.immihelp.com/i-485-adjustment-of-status/

It may take much longer to get it approved.
