Thank you.

Technically, your mother is an immediate relative, as you are a U.S. citizen over the age of 21 years old (I assume). So, she should be eligible for an "adjustment of status with concurrent filing" as I imagine that she was properly inspected and admitted to the United States.

Concurrent filing does mean that you can file I-130 and I-485 together.

I am unclear though as to how U.S. immigration agencies react to somebody coming with a tourist visa (or something like that) and filing almost immediately for permanent residence...
