She is no longer in the U.S.  Her sole option is consulate processing.

No, you don't get to select.  Her only option is consular processing.

Not just easiest- it’s literally OP’s ONLY option at this point.   If she returned to the US with the intention of adjusting struts, that would be immigration fraud.

Mother entered US last week on IR5 Visa, she was not provided any paperwork or forms as per the guidance received from London embassy to apply for a GC.

 

What are the next steps /  requirements to apply for Green card?

 She now waits for the plastic Green card  to be automatically mailed....if you paid the $220 immigrant fee.

In regards to the immigrant fee , i am guessing it has not been paid as it has been two weeks since visa approval and travel to US. I am guessing that we have to fill this out online and will then get green card mailed which means there is another step

Is it automatically shipped without an additional application?    That is what I assumed until I saw some confusing info on this forum.

 

At what stage is the immigrant fee paid, is it with Ds2-60?

The immigrant fee should have been paid after the interview. Until you pay it, a plastic Green Card will not be mailed.
