I have a couple of questions that I need answers to regarding the process of changing status from a visitors visa to permanent resident. My mother, who has been here since September 2001, would like to become a permanent resident. I understand that I must petition for her to become a naturalized citizen. Is it enough to file a relative visa petition, I-130, and does she need to fill out I-485 at the same time? While her application is pending, can she obtain a work permit? Is the work permit application submitted at the same time as the I-130? Is all this paperwork submitted at our local office, or should it be mailed to Nebraska? Other than these few questions, are there other instructions we need to know. And finally, are there any common complications or mistakes that we should know about?

Thank you for time and consideration on this matter.
