Your mother can file for a nonimmigrant visa during the time that you have filed an immigrant visa petition on her behalf. The decision of whether to approve the nonimmigrant visa will be up to the American consular officer in a determination of whether he or she is convinced that your mother will return to the home country after the brief period of visit. She must put down on the DS-160 application form that you are in the United States and that she has had an immigrant visa petition filed on her behalf.
