There is no way she can immigrate based on you in the near future. Married children of US citizens are in the F3 category, which currently has a wait of almost 12 years (22 years for people born in Mexico and the Philippines) after you file an I-130 petition. Her being here now or having a visitor visa is not relevant.

hi

as stated, she can always visit, but never overstay, she has to leave, the wait is around 12 years if she isn't from the countries mentioned above

the only form you fill out for her for now is the i130, with payment and documents necessary

it will list her spouse and children on the form, if they are young they will immigrate with them, if not, they will have aged out

The form you need is I-130.

But as already mentioned it will take a long time for her to get a visa and she can't stay here and wait for it. She is one of the lower categories of family determined by immigration and the reason being is because she is an adult with her own family. To the US government she can continue living her own life and there is no rush to bring her here since she is not a minor and has a husband to care for her. So you are looking at 12 year wait for a visa to be available.

Advise her to NEVER overstay her visits. She has the tourist visa so she has the opportunity see you often. She doesn't want to lose that opportunity to visit by overstaying. Does her husband and kids have tourist visas as well?

The best advice is to have her and her family visit until its time to migrate.

A visitor visa that is valid for 10 years doesn't mean she can stay for 10 years. She must leave on or before the date stamped in her passport when she arrived. No exceptions. You can start the I-130 petition today if you like, but it will be at least 12 years before she can come for good.
