The best strategy would be for you to acquire US citizenship, and then turn around and petition for your mother. If you are a green card holder who has been married to a US citizen for four years, then you qualify to apply for US citizenship now. That process takes roughly 6 months, and then you can turn around and sponsor mom.If mom is in the United States, when you sponsor her, then she could adjust status to get her green card without going back home.
