Just wanted to share the good news that my mom had her interview on 4th Jan and her visa was approved on spot Alhamdulilah. IR5 is pretty straight forward category but i was also well prepared because it took forever, I didnt want to leave any stone unturned. I had uploaded on CEAC portal my most recent W2 and tax transcript from 2022 only. Also uploaded employment verification and updated signed i-864 form. No pay stubs or anything else. She took copies of that to the interview but wasnt asked to show. They only asked to show her original birth certificate, my original birth certificate and original FRC. Thats it. Very simple questions asked. Who is calling you? Where does your daughter live in US? When was the last time you saw your daughter? Was there another country you lived in other than Pakistan. (In my my moms case, yes, she lived few years in Dubai in the 90s). That was it. She had to get her pics retaken over there at the embassy because she wears hijab and in the 2×2 she got done, her ears were not showing so they took photos there themselves for Rs 500. Other then that everything was smooth. Best of luck to everyone else!

My moms DQ was 8th april 2022. We received IL this month and her interview is on 4th jan 2024!

Hi everyone. Congrats to those who got their IL and interviews lined up. My mom's IR5 DQ date 8th April 2022. Her interview is scheduled for 4th Jan 2024. She hasnt received the interview letter in mail. We are still waiting. I read that some people just printed out the email version and had no issues at the time of interview. Is that right? Please let me know if anyone had similar issue. Thanks!
