Your mom and younger sister are in different categories and their cases are treated differently by immigration. Your mom is considered an "immediate relative" and will receive her green card in approximately 1 year after you submit the I-130 petition. Whereas, your sister falls within preference categories and must wait for the availability of a visa number or her priority date to become current before she can apply for her green card.
