She has a valid visa..The entry visa is usually given for 6 months. Since your mom is an elderly woman, I doubt they will give her any troubles.

They just ask where she will be staying.
I would recommend her to come Sep 1 though.
 
Hi SINNERSROOM,

Congratulation, that should be sweet when you meet your mom. I also want to thank you for your reply to my post regarding to B2 visa. Could I ask you some more questions about B2 visa? I post my question in my thread since I don't want to distract your post's point. I greatly appreciate your help.

why would you recommend to come in sept1 ?. when entry visa expires in 10 october? i think even if she will enter on 9th october it will be fine.3 month max given for single entry B2 visa as far as i know. Immigration officers stamp will be decision whether she should stay 90 days or 180 days.
 
You are right. Even if she comes on the 9th of Oct. it's ok. The IO at the airport will determine her duration of stay. But it will be better if you give a few days margin, since you should also consider that the flight could be delayed etc.
