You can petition for her and she can apply for adjustment of status, provided that she is in USA legally and was admitted and inspected, and didn't have a hidden immigrant intent when arrived on a visitor's visa.

If you have any more questions or need a specific legal advice you are welcome to email me to schedule a legal consult.

Hi,

Since your mother entered the U.S. legally, all sponsorship petitions and applications can be filed concurrently, allowing your mother to become a permanent resident without having to depart the U.S. We recommend waiting at least 60 days after entry to the U.S. to minimize potential "fraudulent entry" problems. Additional information about family sponsorship categories is here: www.h1b1.com/sponsor.htm

It's just a matter of filing for the adjustment of status. You may find more information here as well as the services I provide:

The process of applying for an immediate relative via adjustment of status (spouse, parent, child over 21) is more or less the same:
