Hubby's mom is here for a few months on a tourist visa fron Peru. We are thinking about starting the process to get her residency but aren't sure if we can file while she's here and if we do file and the tourist visa runs out can she stay until the other gets approved or is that a big no no? She has been here several times and never overstayed before and is in her late 60s in good health. Any info is appreciated!

Or adjust

You can file the I-130 while she is here. She can return home to interview for an immigration visa.

If you want her to adjust and get a green card here, then you will want to file the I-485.

Do not worry about overstaying if she is adjusting. Does not matter since she is the Immediate Relative of a USC.
