If you are under 21, then your mother can file Form I-130 Petition of alien relative and Form I-485 Application to register Permanent residency or Adjustment of Status concurrently since your visa number is immediately available being a children of US Citizen under 21.
If you are over 21, you should be unmarried to qualify the first preference of family based immigration. Your mother will file I-130 and upon the approval you need to wait until the visa number is available to you. You can check the current visa at Visa Bulletin of US Department of State website. As of today the First preference 08/DEC/2001, meaning people whose I-130 petition is approved on or before that date have visa numbers and they can file I-485. Good luck!

Much depends on how old you are. If you are under 21, she can file an IR-2 immigrant visa petition for you. Once that's approved, it can be used immediately to come to the US, and if you are under 18, you would be eligible for US citizenship once you arrived. If you are over 21, then she could file an F-1 petition for you, but those can take quite a while before they are good for immigration purposes, especially if you're Mexican or Filipino. If you enter on either one, you would be eligible for a green card after several months. Check out uscis.gov for lots of information on immigrant visa petitions, including what forms are required and how to file them.

First and foremost, you will need to prove that you are related to your mom. How can your mom be a citizen and your not. There could be several reasons, I don't need to know.
Your best bet is to talk to a lawyer.
You will need to be descriptive. I suggest you get a lawyer and discuss your confidential information. Everybody will give you advice, but when you pay for it, you can hold them responsible because you have a receipt for the payment, such as a lawyer.

You need to apply for a green card..make sure you have a work visa sure you can be In the USA legally before you apply. (If you were born in the USA you are already an American citizen no matter if your parents were born here or not..)

She will need to sponsor you, go to an immigration and naturalization office and get the necessary forms and then start the process.

If your Mother is a citizen of the United States what does that put you born Mexico ?
If you have a problem staying in the U.S. with your birth Mother, I would tell immigration to kiss your azz if they don't issue you a Visa.
