If you're filing tax return as dependent, I will suggest your husband being as Sponsor. You will need his passport copy, your passport copy, I-134 form Affidavit of Support, letter from employer verifying job/salary etc, last 2-3 pay-stubs.

 

If salary is high, no need for bank statement. If salary is not strong (above $50K annum) - then I will suggest including other assets like Savings, FDs, stock bond etc. in I-134 form plus supporting documents for same.

 

But, visitor visa is tricky - it is based on individual (your mom) profile. You guys need to show strong ties to her home country, if she is currently working / properties in her name / siblings living with her etc.

There is no sponsorship for visitors. You can offer to pay her expenses, that's it. But that's not sponsoring.
