母亲退休后又去一个公司打工结果遇上非法集资窝案进局子6年，现出来4年想来美国探亲，填表DS-160，是否必须填写这一经历？不填可否？因为原退休单位都不知道这事。

--Her arrest and prison record probably will affect her visa application, but she still needs to tell the truth, and explain it. Otherwise, she will be banned to enter US permanently if the IO/VO find it.

怎么做比较好？去派出所开证明，工作人员说很少开这样的证明。多谢大侠指教！

-If she was arrested and sentenced to prison, the Police Depatment and the court should have the record. Just ask whether she can get the copy of the arrest and prison record.
