Probably not, unless you can change your B2 visa to another long-term non-immigrant visa.

Unless a visa number is immediately available, you can't apply for adjustment of status. If you become illegal, you may not be able to adjust in the future.

Who file the petition for you?

What country are you from?

What is the priority date?

No, not unless you are the immediate relative (spouse, child or parent) of a U.S. citizen, or if you are protected under Section 245(i). Rather, if you are in a preference category and do not have 245(i), you will not be allowed to adjust status. Worse, you will be required to apply for your permanent immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate overseas, which will also require you to depart and possibly trigger the 3YR/10YR Bar.

Therefore, more information about the classification you are seeking is needed to assist you.

Note, most out-of-state attorneys can legally help you because we are permitted to practice federal immigration law outside of our state of jurisdiction. Please feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation.
