Tourist visa b1/b2

[kashif01 2]

Hi, my sister is on b1/b2 visa and she is due for renewal. Can she renew through the dropbox process while in USA?  She is a Pakistani citizen

No. Visas are issued at the embassies overseas, not in the US.

There's no dropbox for B visas, she has to follow the usual process. The wait for a B visa interview is about a year so make sure she applies well before her current visa expires.

Wait Time for Interview Waiver

Wait times for applicants eligible for Interview Waiver are applicable only for locations where applicants schedule appointments to submit their passport and any required documents to a U.S. embassy or consulate. The wait time estimate does not account for the time required for a consular officer to adjudicate the application nor mailing time of passports or other documents. Refer to the website of the Embassy or Consulate Visa Section where you will apply to determine your eligibility for Interview Waiver and for instructions for submitting a nonimmigrant visa application. Note that applicants must be a national or resident of the country where they are applying to be eligible to apply via Interview Waiver.

Visas are issued abroad NOT in USA. 

 

And please, don't try to tell her to overstay with the hopes of filing a petition for her. It'll take 12+ years
