Immigration inspector at the border can deny your mother entry. Every B2 visitor must prove to satisfaction of the Immigration that she/he is entering temporarily and do not intend to stay and become an immigrant. Approval of an I-130 petition is very convincing proof of the opposite: that your mother *does* intend to stay and become an immigrant. After seeing this information on his computer screen, an immigration inspector *must* deny your mother entry unless she can convince him that, even though she is the beneficiary of an I-130 petition, she is not going to file for adjustment of status and become an immigrant *during this visit*, that she intends to return to her country and obtain an immigrant visa through a consular processing there. (Many people are actually doing it: some need to dispose of property or finish other business back home; some have personal circumstances that make immigration to the U.S. right after the approval of I-130 difficult or even impossible). You can expect that the inspector will not just take your mother's word that she intends to return to her country; she will need some pretty solid evidence to back her story. You might want to speak with an immigration attorney so he/she would be ready to act if your mother's entry would be denied.

No, it is not possible. Even if you marry him and file an application for a waiver of the bar to entry after deportation, it will be denied because your boyfriend is *permanently* inadmissible to the United States as a result of his drug conviction. It means that he will never be permitted to come back, not even after 10 years. The only way to remove this permanent bar is to find legal defects in his criminal conviction, re-open the case, and get the court to cancel the conviction. It is a very difficult task, and the chances of success are low. But it is the only possible solution.

Assets owned before marriage is generally separate property. Divorce will not affect that. Conditional green card holder must file petition to remove the condition upon divorce.
