No. See 22 CFR § 42.62(a): "Every alien applying for an immigrant visa, including an alien whose application is executed by another person pursuant to § 42.63(a)(2), shall be required to appear personally before a consular officer for the execution of the application or, if in Taiwan, before a designated officer of the American Institute in Taiwan, except that the personal appearance of any child under the age of 14 may be waived at the officer's discretion."

 

The only thing you could try is to ask the IV unit if she can attend the interview at a later date.

yes, doctor won't do exam required for visa without the 14 days quarantine and then interview plus a few days to get passport back, so almost 3 weeks

Well they will not give a pass on the Medical and that seems the big issue.
