You have to go to the immigration where you live and help them apply for naturalization. There is a fee for the processing. In NJ its about $400. The person then will be mailed a date to have fingerprinting done and then take a test. You can get study guides of the test from www.uscis.gov. It will also give you some more info.

With everything happening on Immigration issues right now, it may be a hard road. You could inquire with the Immigration Service (from a pay phone) for your specific situation.

That's the link to the application for Naturalization and all of the instructions.

Here's the information for pro bono attorneys in every state that you could probably call and ask if she could be fast tracked for citizenship because she's been here so long.
Good luck!
