    As her mother is an immediate relative, she should be able to adjust her status based upon your wife's petition, although I can't promise that her work history won't become an issue if she has been working unlawfully. Also, while the I-485 remains pending, your wife's petition won't give her mother any protection from deportation.

    As her mother is looking at a ten year period of ineligibility if she leaves the U.S., to put it mildly there aren't a lot of good options. If you want to play it as safe as possible, have the full facts reviewed by an immigration lawyer.
