I applied for my mom's green card November 2018 after my citizenship ceremony. On September 2019 we received the I130 approval and the case passed to the Visa Center. I filled out all the forms, upload documents and paid fees December 2019. My mom is in Brazil and our interview will be in Rio de Janeiro. Does anyone have any idea how long after we sent everything to schedule the interview?

So when you log in to CEAC, what is the status?

you need to wait until everything is document qualified. After that, they will schedule for interview. Noted that every country has different waiting time so you might want to ask people from Brazil.
