Unfortunately, you are not eligible to receive permanent residence through your sister's petition for your mother. Your sister or mother would have to file a separate petition for you. Has any such petition been filed for you? How long has your mother had permanent residence (green card)? Is she eligible to seek citizenship?

I strongly recommend that you see an attorney in-person to review your situation. Please feel free to contact my office to discuss your case further.

You need to sit down with an immigration attorney to discuss your options. Your period of authorized stay expired on the date stamped on the I-94 card you received when you entered, not the expiration date of the visa.
