I am US citizen and my wife is here on B-2 visa, her I-94 just expired, applied for extension, denied. Can I file I-130 and 485 for her now and can she wait here for her GC legally without leaving the country?

You can file I-130 and I-485, but she must not travel outside USA until she gets her green card.
