How long does someone need to go to India before they can return on B1/B2 visa?

Hello, my mom is currently visiting the US on a B1/B2 visa and she was given a 6 month stay. I currently have a green card and I'm 6 months away from applying for my citizenship. I would like my mom to live in the US since there's no other family in India and will apply for her green card when I have my citizenship.

 

Once her stay expires, how long does she need to stay in India for before coming back to the US for another 6 months?

Note that a visitor visa does not allow immigration intent.

A person who has been visiting the US should be more abroad than in the US. After a 6-month visit, it is recommended to stay abroad for at least a year before visiting again.
