There is no family-based PR classification for the parent of an LPR. If you have been married more than 2 years, 9 months, then file for naturalization; it only takes about 3-4 months now.
After you are sworn in as a USC, then petition for your mother. She will qualify as an immediate relative; as the parent of a USC.
File the I-130, relative petition, first then after approval apply for the immigrant visa (IV) at her home consulate. Good luck.

Agree with NYcityboy.. you must be naturalized first.
