Under the current public charge rules, the income and assets of the petitioner are even more important than before. Factors to be taken into account are your past history of work, taxes paid in the past, prospects for work, assets, education, licenses, etc. You mother would also need a good cosponsor who could convince USCIS or the American consulate if mom is overseas that he or she would be willing to take up the support obligation. The current public charge rule is one that is undoubtedly on President-elect Biden’s immigration list to undo, but that will take some time as it was implemented as a regulation instead of as an executive order.
