Somebody post this, saying something about CitiBank non-
interview visa application procedure. But both saying
he/she stated are totally incorrect. The first is "can't
apply for a new visa before current one expires"; the
other is "can't get a new visa if don't go to US using
current one".
In order not to mislead all others, I have to re-post my
article here.

She can't apply for a new visa before her current visa expires. If she doesn't go to US using current visa, it's not positive that she can get a new visa through ZhongXin Band because she doesn't has a entry record in US.

Cited from web site of US Embassy in Beijing, China:
为获得过美国签证的申请人开办免面谈服务
凡获得过B-1 (商务)，B-2 (旅游)，F (留学生及家属)，J (交流访问学者及家属)，以及H (短期工作人员及家属) 签证的申请人再申请同种签证时如符合下列条件之一，可将申请材料递交到指定的中信实业银行（注意：申请人不必曾持该签证赴美）：
1. 现有签证仍有效
2. 所获签证已过期，但失效日期距此次申请日期不超过12个月 (包括12个月)
重新申请F，J 以及H签证的申请人必须返回与上次相同的学校，研究院或工作单位。 此外，申请人必须在其常住地所属的使，领馆申请签证。
大多数中信实业银行收取人民币200元的代办手续费，但也有个别地方收费略高。
