she doesn't need an agent.

@Robert ******

thank you, forgot that element!

You're probably okay because you have a 12 month visa. Make sure your son files the tm-30 each time you return to stay with him. You can most likely get a residency certificate from that tm-30 but probably good too have him write a letter that you are staying with him long term. Immigration like documentation...

Take all that with you too the bank. Dress reasonably and act professionally and if you don't get an account at the first bank, try another. Use the main branches in the town you're living in.

A certificate of residence is issued by immigration. Bring 1 passport photo, copies of your passport bio and visa pages and a copy of your lease agreement.

yes

Non-o based on retirement. Initial visa is 90 days and eligible for multiple 1yr extensions.
