my mom came to usa on visitor visa and we like to keep her with us in usa.
is there any chance that we can change her visa status and she can stay with us... for long time... (more than a year, we are going to apply extension for her..)
 
She can only extend her stay for up to 6 months. She must have a reason to extend her stay.

Are you an US Citizen? if so, you can file I-130 + I-485 but that is a petition for her to become a resident and live here...

I do not think she can just "stay" as a visitor for more than 1 year.
 
The B visa is a non immigrant visa, she can apply for another type of non immigrant visa such as E visa

She would have to invest a substantial sum of money and purchase a business, however if she does this it will be a change of status and landlocked in the usa

Or if she has a company trading in home country she could apply for L 1 visa which can have dual intent

Are you a USC? or LPR?
