The following link is from the US consulate website (Toronto). Click and expand the section - "Consular related visitors."

It certainly appears that there is a provision to allow one non-applicant (you) to assist in the language interpretation for the applicant.

Normally, people with prior US visa seem to have an easier path to get another round of visa.

Thanks Dimple.

About 12 years ago, when I visit the consulate in Toronto, remember seeing a Dropbox for renewal Visa... not sure about eligibility and if it still exists.


Note: Applicants of a certain age group or those who are renewing a previous U.S. visa may be eligible to apply for a visa without attending a Consular interview. Eligibility for the ?Interview Waived? program will be determined as the applicant goes through the process of scheduling an appointment through this site. The determination will be made based on the answers provided to the qualifying criteria.

Good luck.

I believe the drop box works only for applicants applying from their home country. These rules change so rapidly, it's hard to keep up.
