Re: visa

Because of your mother's long absence from the U.S. she is deemed to have abandoned her Green Card. However, her status as an immediate relative of a U.S. Citizen may make her eligible for an immigrant visa immediately.

The proper paperwork will have to be prepared for her to process through the Consulate abroad.

You should consult with an expereiced immigration lawyer before proceeding.
