As soon as they get the NOA1 for the I-130 they need to file for AOS, this should have been done together as per the instructions on USCIS website but all is not lost.

They do not need to wait for the I-130 to be approved they just need to include the receipt from the I-130 along with the application for AOS.

Once that is file they can remain in the US while the case is pending.
