More details to this question:
My mom entered the U.S. illegally in 1991. I am 21 years old and a legal U.S. citizen. Can I petition for her to become a legal resident? And does she have to go back to her country of origin, or can she remain here while her case processes if at all possible? Also, how long does it take for it to process? She files taxes and has never had any trouble with the law, if that makes a difference.

Eventually she'd need to leave for an interview, but you can do the I-130 process to get the ball rolling.
