Can you recommend a courier service that can do it?

Does anyone know if there is a way to send a passport to the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw Poland to get it stamped. My mother had an interview in December 2022. The Consular Officer didn't approve her visa on the spot/requested additional documents. We've now received a confirmation that her visa is approved. My mother resides in Russia and we are trying to figure out how to get her passport to the Embassy without requesting a Schengen visa and flying to Warsaw again. Does anyone here know if there is a way to mail a passport to Warsaw Poland to get it stamped? I attempted to contact the Embassy with this question but their response is a bit ambiguous to me. They did confirm that it doesn't have to be an applicant coming in person, but it is not clear whether it can be mailed. Curious is anyone here faced with a similar situation.

Thank you all for your responses. What I decided to do is to write to the Embassy directly and asked if my mom's case can be adjudicated separately. I am now happy to report back that my mom's visa was approved. My dad's case will remain in the administrative processing unfortunately but hopefully, that gets resolved very soon as well. The U.S. asked us to bring my mom's passport to get it stamped. Curious if anyone faced with a similar situation. Is it possible to ship it or the applicant has to be present to bring and receive a passport? Can it be done through an agent or a family member? My mom's Schengen visa has expired so we would have to apply over again just for the purposes of getting her passport to the U.S Embassy in Poland. Trying to see if there are other ways to have the passport stamped. Any insight is appreciated.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone faced with a similar situation. I am a sponsor for IR5 visas for both my parents. The petitions were approved. The interviews were conducted at the US Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. The interview went fine; however, the officer requested additional information. We sent everything requested in the next two days. Initially, my parents understood that both their application are subject to administrative review. However, after submitting all the information, we've learned that only my dad's application is. Although my mother's application requires no additional information or documents, the consular officer refuses to grant her a visa until my dad's administrative proceeding is complete. I find it a little odd (perhaps, not proper?) given that we submitted separate petitions, applications, fees, AOS etc. Why would my mother's visa has be withheld because of my dad's admin review if both of them are independent applicants? Curious if anything has any insight. We've been trying to expedite their visas for many months, and having another delay is just beyond frustration. I have a newborn at home and need to undergo a medical procedure asap, and having at least one of my parents around helping with the baby will be a huge help. I tried to write to them, but the US Embassy in Warsaw refuses to grant my mom's visa until my dad's admin review is complete.
