Yes, it is a huge pain in the behind.
The 601A application only waives unlawful presence. Your mom should make sure she will not trigger other grounds of inadmissibility when she goes to her interview.
Example:
- Did she enter the US without inspection more than once?
- Did she bring minors across the border without inspection?
- Other?...
She should talk to her lawyer before she leaves the US and be completely honest about her immigration history. Even if it sounds trivial, it may not be under US immigration law.
Good luck!
