Answer 1

As a 23 year old adult, your mother can no longer influence your ability to scoop up a green card. You have to apply and be accepted on your own merits. There is no upgrade

family visa~~~~Visa in this category are usually aimed at uniting partners, partners to be or familymembers in the first degree such as parents, children and brothers and sisters. One party should already have citizenship or permanent residency so they can sponsor the other party.

This so called "fiancee visa" is commonly used to have a husband or wife come over from abroad. There usually must be a marriage before the visa is given. In the USA this type of visa are called fiancee visa and it is valid between the time you enter the USA and the time that you are issued you green card.

or an immigrant visa~~~~An immigrant visa is required for anyone who wishes to enter the United States to reside there permanently, whether or not that person plans to seek employment in the United States. An immigrant visa is a document issued by a U.S. consular officer abroad that allows you to travel to the United States and apply for admission as a legal permanent resident

Answer 4

She needs to contact the USCIS and the National Visa Center and advise them of her new status.  She'll need to send them proof of her US citizenship.  Expect it to take about a year.
