Assuming you are already a US citizen, you will need the following:

- Form I-130
- A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and your mother’s name
- A copy of your Certificate of Naturalization or U.S. passport if you were not born in the United States

If she is already here in the US, she can just adjust her status. You can use form i-485 (https://www.uscis.gov/i-485)

According to USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/A1en.pdf):

"If your relatives are already in the United States and entered legally, then they may be able to file an I-485 application to adjust their status to lawful permanent resident at the same time as you file the I-130 relative petition. Petitions filed at the same time with permanent residence applications (I-485) must be filed at a location that is different from where you would file an I-130 petition by itself. Please read the instructions for the two addresses where concurrent filings can be mailed."

So overall, you would need the following:

- Form I-130

- Form I-485
- A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and your mother’s name
- A copy of your Certificate of Naturalization or U.S. passport if you were not born in the United States

Since she is adjusting her status and filing together with the i-485, according to the instructions for the i-765 (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-765instr.pdf), she would be category ( c ) ( 9 )
