A friend of mine moved here in the United States with her USC husband and their three children. Take note, their children are US citizens. She has been with him for 16 years. However, she entered in US through tourist visa.

Anyway, she asked me how to get a perment residence in the US. I told her what I knew and it's not helping because she is on tourist visa for six months. Do you guys know this situation?

Life is not a granting factory, according to my colleague.

~~moved to AOS from work, tourist, or student visa from IR1/CR1 process and procedures~~

As long as she entered the country legally she should file and adjustment of status. They should follow this guide. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

The funny part is, if they'd done this YEARS ago she could have been a USC a long time ago, vs here illegally.

Yes, it is odd. In fact, she has entered the country several times under tourist visa. Anyway, I did direct her to see somebody at USCIS with her husband.
