Visitor visa renewal interview

[Anony mouse]

My mother recently applied for a B2 visa renewal at Mumbai, India. She received a call for interview after fingerprinting. She has not "abused" her current B2 visa and can show ties there (self employment and property). My father is presently visiting us in the US, so that may be a reason for interview call.
1. Is it advisable for my mother to attend the interview? We have an option of leaving that case pending, since I am very close to getting my US citizenship and can apply for her green card consular processing. Which would be a better option?
2. Is my mother's current visa (still valid thru mid-April, 2017) considered void now that she has applied for renewal?
Thank you.

Did she receive a call from consulate or an email as well for confirmation. I am in a similar situation. Consulate called and asked to come. Didnt specify why. Also how was the interview. Did she get her visa?
