Green card through adjustment of status

[prai 42]

My mother is 83 years old and currently in the U.S. on a visitor visa. I recently came across a post on Instagram by an immigration lawyer claiming that if the parent of a U.S. citizen is already in the U.S. legally, it's possible to apply for a green card through adjustment of status after 90 days of entry. Can anyone confirm if this information is accurate? Please share if anyone has a documentation for the process. 

Thank you.

Yes it's possible. But does she want to live in the US? Does she have anybody back home? This may be a long and expensive process. Did you consider cost of healthcare in the US?

If you’re a USC then yes, it’s possible, forget the 90 day thing though, she can apply anytime. Follow the guide at the top of the page. 
 

And as @OldUser said, cost of healthcare needs to be the top consideration for any elderly person thinking about moving to the US, she will likely need thousands each month to pay for it. 
 

Also make sure she’d be happy not being able to leave the US until she had Advance Parole in hand, which could take up to 8 months. 
 

Good luck.
