No feedback at all?

Hi, my mom just had her interview on Monday. She says it took 3 good hours, but my country is making it impossible for anyone to get a visa. She says he took his time, left the room for tea breaks. He wanted to know mostly about me (her petitioner), he reviewed our tax returns, asked about my marriage, reason why my mom was coming here and why she wanted permanent residence, about my maternity leave, about my husband what he does. If I were you I would email them possible questions you think they will ask and provide them with answers and a copy of everything you sent to the NVC, they go through the application.

After his tea breaks he would come back ask some of the questions again, I guess to see if my mom is lying I don't know. Be over prepared and send photo, western union receipts (evidence that shows you as their child), they may ask to see your most recent tax returns, your title deed/lease agreement, they asked her about her education background. Everything, my mom thought he was not finding anything to refuse her a visa so he kept going.

At the end he gave her a refusal form and requested We provide an explanation why my husband and I filed separately this year. They wanted info on my maternity leave which my mom didn't have. So we are submitting that and then wait for their decision.

Maybe your country is not so bad, but its not fun for anybody to answer questions for that long, good luck. I'm nervous and don't understand why they are interested in my maternity leave info.
