If you are a US citizen, your marital status has no bearing on your eligibility to sponsor your mother. As a US citizen, your mother is considered an immediate relative of a US citizen [you] and whether you are married or unmarried is not relevant in that consideration. But I caution that several issues are involved and must be considered when a US citizen is filing paperwork for an alien relative, including for example whether the alien is qualified to receive an immigrant visa or whether US citizen has sufficient income to show that if visa is granted, the alien will not end up on welfare. Consult with an attorney because, even if there are problems, an experienced lawyer can help you overcome issues that will otherwise make it impossible for your mother to come to the US
