Hello everyone!

I would like to bring my mother to the US to live with us permanently as soon as I have my US citizenship which should hopefully be in the next 2-3 month. She is going to visit us at the end of June until mid September on her passport. So my question is, if I (receive my citizenship and) apply for her green card (I-485 and I-130) during her stay here, does she fall under "certain people are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence) while inside the United States"? What exactly does it mean? Or should I wait for her to return to Germany and apply then?

Thanks!

She can not enter with the intent to adjust status  because that is fraud. You can file for her when you become a USC and the wait is about a year.
