How Do one bring family members(mother and married sister) after getting got permanent residency card which expires after 2 years from date it was issued (AOS interview)?

Also after getting permanent residency card can we consider as permanent resident or we have to wait till we remove conditions within 2 years from card issued?

On one of employment verification form it was asking are you

1 citizen

2. permanent resident

2 alien eligible to work with DHS authorization.

I know we can not choose US citrizen but am not sure if we should choose permanent resident option or the third option eligible work with DHS authorization.

A Legal Permanent Resident can only petition for a spouse and unmarried children. You will have to become a US citizen before you can petition for your mother and married sister. If you are married to a US citizen, it will be three years before you can apply to become a US citizen. After that you can petition for your mother - that will take 12-18 months. To petition for your married sister, it will take another 14 years from India. So at least 17 years for your sister.

You are a permanent resident. An "alien eligible to work with DHS authorization" is a person with a work (employment) visa.
