H4 to F1 Change of status

Hello
My wife has her COS ( H4-F1) approved. Is she eligible for dropbox or she has to go for an interview when she goes to India?

Thanks

If going before Dec 31st this year then yes she may qualify for IW however in most cases the first time F1 applicants have got 221g to appear for interview. IW is totally at discretion of the consular officer.
