A: Further information is needed. Is she in the US on a B2 visa or F1 visa? Did she change status from B2 to an F1 visa? If she has no F1 visa stamp in her passport she will not be able to enter the US on an F1 visa. It is generally recommended to get the visa stamp in your home country even if certain consulates accept third country applicants. Hope this helps a bit.
