More details to this question:
My mom is 74 years old and her green card expired. I want to bring her back here. She's a US resident since 02/23/1993 and her green card expired 2014. My mom suffered from depression for being far from me! How much do I need to pay for the processing the papers? How long will it take for me to get her? My mom has her expired green card and willing to surrender it. What steps does she need to do?

Significantly more information is needed in order to analyze your mother's immigration eligibilities, options and strategies. This includes, for example, information about the dates you mother has been outside of the United States after having become a Permanent Resident approximately 13 years ago. It would be wise for your mother (perhaps with you) to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about your mother, could advise about the steps that might now be taken, and who could offer legal representation to help her attain her goals.

You should take this case to an immigration attorney because the best approach depends on details and circumstances you did not mention in your post: is your mother in the U.S. now? If not, how long has she been out of the U.S.? Did she work in the U.S. and, if she did, did she accumulate 40 credits on her Social Security account? Does she have (or can she get) medical documents confirming that she has a medical condition that could have prevented her from returning to the U.S. or timely filing for an renewal of her green card? Are you a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident? do you have sufficient income to file an affidavit of support? An answer to one question usually leads to another; so a face-to-face consultation is the best way to proceed.
