IR visa

[kelvinla589 27]

Hello , what are some of the advantages a beneficiary (son) of an IR immigrant visa get with respect to the whole process and the interview at the US consulate in his country while his Mother (the petitioner) is a USC and lives in the US ?

thank you

What do you mean "advantages "?

Looking at OPs other posts, I’m guessing the question is, are the consular officers easier on a very young (age 7) potential immigrant, if not accompanied by his parents?

I will answer assuming that’s the question: 

Please make sure your son has every original document in the checklist with him, as well as photos, his passport etc with him. Make a nice folder for him, use tabs for him (or officer) to locate everything easily. If he will be asked an address for the passport to be sent later, write it on a paper (so officer can help him with that) 

All in all, make sure he has everything he needs with him, and he KNOWS how to find them when asked. 

They will obviously be nice and helpful to a 7 year old but if there are missing documents, there isn’t much the officer can do, even if he’s a saint.

I presume if the kid is 7 there is an adult looking after him who will be helping with all this.

It’s a kid. All they need to do is establish the relationship which is mainly done via documentation. Which adult will be helping him?

No one is accompanying him , he will go alone since he is 19 years

Oh, I was going by what the other poster was saying about age 7. 19 is not even a minor so i doubt they will be extra lenient, but for the son of citizen (am I understanding that bit correctly) it’s just about establishing the relationship is real. Make sure as above that you have all the documents you need.

I apologize, I thought OP had a 7 year old son but he/she was just answering somebody else about it and I got confused.

Processing times and interview questions are what they are, can't shorten them for a 19-year old
