Visitor Visa for 80 years age

[kp5493]

My in-laws visitor visa already got expired. If we apply for the visitor visa again, should they apply using lockbox in India (CHENNAI US CONSULATE)
or should they go in person? Both the in-laws are above 80 years.

please advise.
thanks

If their most recent visa application was not refused, then they will qualify for a Dropbox.

They decide it based on 6-7 questions about simplicity of application. Age is not a factor there.

Thanks a lot for your time and advise. Seems like my fr-in-law us 87 But My mother in law is 79 only.

@user099-- so you mean irrespective of the age, you say if the recent visa was not rejected they will qualify for a drop box?

@care_candidate -- so you mean that when filling the application, we will come to know if they need to come in person or not--correct?

 

thanks
