I can't speak for your specific consulate, but generally you request an expedited interview by contacting the embassy/consulate.

Since consulates are not conducting routine visa services anyway, the only way to get an interview now is by emergency (which is even more limited).

Nor would it do anything right now as IR-5 cases are subject to the ban in the latest EO.

Timelines:

Thank you!

As others have said, it can NOT be done right now. No visas are being issued for parents due to the Executive Order by the President. So your mother will not get an interview or even an expedited interview anytime soon.

 

Also, there must be a valid reason for the expedite. So be sure that you have a valid reason for an expedite once interviews have started resuming. Duke and Marie provided a link to that info. Here is an excerpt...

Quote

If a visa is available for your relative’s category, and their case involves a life or death medical emergency, processing of your case may be expedited. To request a review for expedite, please submit a scanned letter (or statement) using the Public Inquiry Form to NVC from a physician (or medical facility). The letter must include the physician’s (or medical facility’s) contact information, and declare a life or death medical emergency exists.

Just a word of advice because some people assume that for an expedite all you need to do is ask for one. But as you can see it requires an emergency and documentation.

“When starting an immigration journey, the best advice is to understand that sacrifices have to be made... whether it is time, money, or separation; or a combination of all.” - Unlockable
