If her visa is still valid she can hop on a plane. If it's expired she needs to apply for a new one.

This is a single entry visa and she has already used it. She has to apply again and prove the C.O that she would leave USA after her visit.

hi there is an M stamped in the entry box

hi there is an M stamped in the entry box

That means she can travel to the US multiple times and enter the country until the date upon which the visa expires. She is good to go!

That's one RECORDED entry, probably. I was asking if a number on the visa.

Sometimes there is, sometimes there is a letter.

Where was the 1 inside the passport, btw?

B2 with an "M" under "entries" and valid through 8/2013.. She's good to go.
