Progress update as the Visa interview is certainly a process. My mother had a visa interview scheduled for December 8th but was turned away as she was missing a certified Birth Certificate. My mother was born in a remote part of Laos where there were no birth records and the country of Laos did not recognize their birth until recently. We got her birth certificate recertified and had to rescheduled an appointment to March 20, 23. Yesterday she went to her Visa interview and the US consulate gave her a verbal approval, took her passport and gave her a Receipt to come back and pick her Visa at a later day. HOWEVER, they didn't provide a date. They advised, they will call her when the visa is issued. They ALSO gave her another Request for Documentation letter as they wanted our updated 2021 Tax Transcript & W2s. The request letter advise for us to upload the docs to CEAC and e-mail them when it is completed. We uploaded and now are waiting to see if the VISA will be issued. From what I've read on VJ, it normally takes 7-10 business days. CROSS-our finger. Hope we get it issued soon!
