My husband is a LPR (Green Card Holder) and we would love to have his mom move here from Serbia and help take care of our little girl. My husband is currently in the process of acquiring his US Citizenship, however, in the meantime, we'd love for his mother to come and stay with us. She was granted a 10 year tourist visa in 2022 and has visited a few times. However, this time, we'd like her to stay permanently and apply for Green Card once my husband becomes a US Citizen.
All that to say, she's allowed to stay for 6 months at a time and we hope to know about his citizenship before that 6 months is over. If he gets his Citizenship before her 6 months is up, could we just "adjust her status" to LPR since she would already be in the states or would she have to go back to Serbia and then he would apply for her to get a Green Card that way?
