You can petition for her residency once you become a US citizen.

First you need your employer to sponsor your GC, which may take 4-8 years? then be a resident for 5 years, then apply for citizenship (1 year?), and then you can sponsor her... so give or take 10-18 years, before you can bring your mom to live with you.

Or you can just go back and live with her in India.

You are welcome. But there is not a "Shorter" way.

As PraetorianIX stated, there is no legal shortcut for you to bring your mother to the US. Since you are a guest worker, she may only visit under the rules and regulation of the B2 visa - if she is able to qualify for it through her ties to her home country. Save your money; this information is readily available on the USCIS website.
