Green card

Hello. My mother came to this country about a year ago on green card and left the country in few months. She is not planning on returning to the states at all because she does not like it here. How do I cancel her green card w/o waiting 10 years for it to expire?

Re: Green card

Your mother can complete a Form I-407 to surrender her Green Card. She may take the Green Card with a completed form to her nearest consulate or may mail it to the USCIS.
