What is the yearly residency requirement for a green card holder?

6 months from permanent resident status. But it is not that simple, because even if you take frequent travels for 6 months, the USCIS/CBP may question validity of the status.

Am I eligible for Obama's new Dream Act Lite?

Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
In order to qualify for DACA (deferred Action Childhood Arrival), you must have been present in the US on June 15, 2012. This was the day President Obama made his announcement. In addition, you must have continuous residence / presence in the US since before 6/15/2007 and a removal breaks the continuous requirement if the Removal took place after 6/15/2007. It doesn't appear that you qualify for DACA, but maybe for something else. I would need more facts.

How can I bring my mother back to the USA?

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. You can petition her as an immediate relative, but she will most likely need a waiver as a result of the overstay. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your mother's situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.
