Son is not interested to attend his interview. What is the best thing to do 

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

Do you mean he doesn’t want to immigrate? 

[Duke & Marie 1,389]

You can’t force a person to migrate if they don’t want to... this is something that should have been considered by you when filing and throughout the entire process... you may need to speak with him about the implications of not attending (denial) and what happens if he’s denied... e.g. you need to choose stay or go maybe I guess a big factor he is your sons age? Ex partner?

If the visa is for him, and he does not attend interview, it will be denied.  Your son is over 21??? He does not have to come.

Similar to our case. In fact, my immigrant husband’s 16 y.o. attended the interview for CR2 visa but refused to go to USA. He received the visa but never used it.  Lots of paperwork, time and money wasted. Oh well.

Inform the US Embassy to cancel his interview so that the slot can be opened up to someone else.  If your son doesn't want to immigrate, that's ok.  Just open the interview slot up to someone who has been waiting for a long time.

A bit more information would help us to help you.

 

Does he not want to immigrate at all, or does he not want to attend his interview right now? Does he want to immigrate later?

 

Also, how old is he?

he secured an NBI clearance when I told him to to get one and that was submitted. When I received the interview details, I immediately informed him to set an schedule for his medical exams. But lately, he hasn't responded to me on affirmative or he's not interested at all. 

I have no idea what's going thru his head, the latest that I got from him is that he is working.

He will turn 22 this coming March

Neither YES or NO, as I have not received any response related to this.

If you can convince him to attend and migrate to US and tell him he can go back home if he wants to stay in your country. And maybe when he is living here he might like it. Opportunity knocks at once.  Lots of people are waiting to get their interview schedule.

Well, make sure he understands that if you have to sponsor a new petition for him in the future, when he is over 21 or married, it will take much longer. Beyond that there’s not really anything you can do.  I mean, I understand him, my dad first sponsored me in my early 20s. He didn’t tell me he was doing it, just did it, and when it came time to interview I didn’t go because it really didn’t suit me at the time. Even though I am now in the US,  the choice I made at that time was right. Not everyone wants to move to the US as soon as they can, especially if they have a comfortable life, good social circle, good job or whatever is subjectively important to them. He’s an adult and needs to make his own decisions.

This is more of a communication problem with your son, not an immigration problem.

I don't know you or your son, but to me this looks like a passive agressive way of saying "No, I'm not interested, but I also don't want a confrontation with my mom, so I'm just going to delay the process as much as I can."

 

If your son was interested in immigrating, he would make the medical a priority. But he hasn't.

 

You both need to be open and direct with each other, to avoid wasting more time and money. And if he tells you he doesn't want to immigrate, you need to respect his decision, even if you don't agree with him.

Perhaps reschedule it for a later date, to allow some extra time to figure out what is going on with him.  Then, if he really doesn't want to come, cancel that appointment.
