Maybe someone from India can give more information but is should be sufficient? 

Just make sure to write down all the previous names your mom used on the I-130! 

i was thinking of same name document and getting it notarized cuz her passport has new name but my bc has old name

[Dan2023 26]

sure thanks Redro

 

I still have this confusion and question around the I 130 and I 485 process

 

does I 485 have to applied with I 130 or can be filed later ?

 

scenario being that am filing I 130 now in July when my mom will be gone back to india.

 

if she visits me again lets say dec 2023 can i file for her I 485 then ?

Entering the US on a non immigrant visa (tourist visa) with the intention of adjusting status (filing i485) is immigration fraud. 
If your mother leaves this July and you file the I130 you will wait about 12 months for the I130 to be approved. 
Then she will complete DS260 and you will complete the I864. 
After those documents are accepted she will wait to be called for an interview at the embassy. I believe the complete time from filing I130 to interview will be about 24 months. So, July 2025 your mother will receive her immigrant visa. 
She can still visit you in December 2023 but each entry is up to CBP. If they think she is entering to stay in the US they won’t allow her to enter the US and she will have to return to India.

if you are planning on doing the AOS while she is currently in the US, you can file them together, or add the I485 later while she is here.

If she plans to go back, the I485 will not come into play.

Filing the I 130 should not impact visits.

Filing adjustment of status puts you in authorized stay. That means the person can (and pretty much has to) wait out their time inside the US. If they leave before AP or the greencard is approved, the whole process is considered abandoned.
