Welcome. The only way to convert is to meet with an orthodox Rabbi. You can email me to help find you the closest orthodox Rabbi.

Not only will you need to meet with an Orthodox Rabbi, but you will at some point be required to live among Orthodox Jews. This may require you to move house as I see that there is not even an Orthodox Shul where you currently live.

What about a person? Whose great grandparents were jews, coming from the motherline Orthodox law assumes he is jew but that person has never gone to a shul. That person must go to his great grand `parent shul. However, Being his mother non observant he is taken hard work making himself kosher. Would it be possible for him to be accepted in an Orthodox community without any problem whatsoever? or On the other hand does he have to go through same conversion ruling as anyone who does not have any close jew forefather?

Someone who's mother is Jewish, even if it is only by virtue of her mother having been born Jewish, is 100% Jewish without any need for conversion. Any Orthodox shul in the world would accept them. This is called being a "baal teshuva", one who returns, and over the past couple of decades tens of thousands of Jews who grew up with no connection to Judaism have become "baalei teshuva" and been accepted in all spheres of Orthodox Jewish life.
