No.  The Visa Bulletin indicates her priority date is not yet current.

I am currently living in the US me and my husband and 3 kids. My sister is here visiting from jamaica on her visitors visa. I filed a I-130 for her from 2008 August and it got approved in 2010 September. Is it possible for me to submit a I-486 for a change of status?

You can watch the visa bulletin to see when you can file the 485 for her they are up to March 01 2008 so hopefully soon your priority will be here soon. You referring to an extension to stay ? If she doesn’t maintain lawful status up until the time she files her case or would be denied bc she has to maintain lawful status. So her best bet is to return and come back again bc it will mess up her geeen card application.

There is  a separate USCIS filing date chart specific to Adjustment of Status …but you will see that category F-4 did not move at all  for April  .so she won’t be able to adjust . You waited a long time, not worth risking it. They go home and wait a bit more
