She needs to give the new mailing  address to the CBP officer as she enters the US. 
 

Assuming you are her petitioner and hence sponsor , you need to complete   and  mail in the I865 form within 10 days of moving

As @Lil bear said. 

 

However, if I were you, I'd stay put for 2 more months at current address. USCIS and address changes is like playing hide and seek. You'll change the address, but they still send the GC to the old address and you end up having to chase them for it, a process which takes more than 6 months, if you're lucky, that is. 

 

So, if you can stay put until you receive the GC, stay put.

Thanks so much for the response. In the form, it is asking for A-Number. I dont have her A-Number, where would I find it? Just want to check if that is the case that my mom doesnt have A-number

It will be on her visa in her passport   8 or 9 digit number starting  with A
