Visitor Visa for Mother who is 80+ yr old

[prasgar]

Hello,

Need some advice.
My Mom wants to visit me in US as a visitor for a period of 6 months. I am a GC holder.

She had travelled during 1998 on visitor visa for a period of 4 months.
Her old passport & visa expired and now she has a new passport. She is 80+ years old.
We need get her new visitor Visa (B2).

Does she have to go for -
1. Interview in the consulate
2. Finger printing & Photo

or can she be eligible for Interview Waver Program DROP BOX.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

She has to go for neither.

Eligible for dropbox.

Tip; ON the form DS 160 , do not write 6 months as duration.
write shorter period.
