Is Mumbai consulate scheduling interviews for IR5 (Parent of a U.S. citizen)

[AlienKanpur]

My parents are having interview on sept 8th. And they asked for most recent income tax returns to be submitted online or to present there in interview. I already have uploaded 2019 tax returns online do I have to upload 2020 and 2021 both or just 2021 is enough ?

Dear PayalRoshanPatel,
It is desirable that you upload both for 2020 and 2021. Also carry the hard copies.
Best for a successful adjudication.

I called hospital facility and they mentioned my reports are ok. Also, mentioned no medical reports are provided to beneficiary/petitioner. All the reports goes to directly to consulate. I need to carry paperwork provided to me when first time I visited to Max hospital for checkup. Can you please confirm if that's the same case with you or I need to check more details with medical facility

Also, can you please confirm did you file consulate appointment in "Class B Medical" category and how did you reschedule consulate appointment?

My sputum test results are awaited.Will get on 16thAug.

Dear Shanaya
Now that the case is DQed, you need not worry. They will not ask any more documents. However Tax Returns and W2 of 2020 and 2021 should be uploaded and hard copies to be sent to the beneficiaries to carry along at the Interview.
In many posts I wrote that hard copies of all uploaded documents and original Birth and Marriage certificates of Petitioner and Beneficiaries should be carried along for the interview. Not that all of the documents will be checked, but you never know which one will be asked. In my case they asked my birth certificate and that of my daughter and my wife's death certificate only, though I had all the hard copies with me.

Dear GeoMac,
Thank you for your detailed response.
I will upload 2021 W2 and tax return transcript to CEAC site. Also, will send hardcopies to my parents as well.
Is that going to change DQ date?

Dear Shanaya,
your case is already DQ and the IL has been received, uploading fresh documents will not change anything.
Best wishes

No. Your DQ date wont change. They were satisfied with the documents you uploaded then and so your case was Documentarily Qualified. Now the new docs, as and when became available in the course of time, you are uploading in order to avoid any querries.

My parents went for a medical test in Mumbai; the father was asked to go with sputum test at Lilavati hospital for three days in a row. The original interview data was Sept 3, and wondering how much delay will be with his interview dates. Mom will go with her interview on the current date. Anyone with experience with this situation - assuming it takes two months for test results, will it delay further in the interview process? Any guidance will be super helpful.

Dear GeoMac,
Excellent. I will upload them tonight ( 2021W2 + 2021 tax transcript)
As per your extrapolation on IL dates, when can I expect IL? (May be in November 2022 for January 2023 interview date)

Thanks for this forum and its members, I've had updates to what's going on with my mother's visa application. After months of waiting we finally received the interview letter, I've a question whether we need to submit the latest w2 and tax documents again, or just upload them. I've uploaded the documents but unsure if my status changes if I submit these documents again..

Dear helloworld91,
Congratulations for getting the IL. Best wishes for a positive adjudication. Good that you have uploaded the latest W2 and Tax documents. The printouts of all these documents should also be carried to the interview. Most likely they will not be seen by the officers. Updating these documents will not change the status. I and another senior forum member GeoMac has already answered this question yesterday. Good luck for the interview.

Dear Shanaya,
Extrapolation sometimes goes haywire. However looking at the present trend, you can expect to hear in the next two to three months, more like November end with interview in January 23. Best wishes.

I had gone through sputum test in Max Lajpat Nagar 2 months back and finally today I got below email from Mumbai consulate. I have a follow up questions

1. I haven't received any final medical reports email after sputum test from Max Lajpat Nagar. Do I need to follow-up with them?
2. While scheduling consulate appointment interview in cgifedral website and selecting category CLASS B MEDICAL"-> an then answered "YES" for question - Have you received instructions from US consulate? and then coming up with below question - If I answer Yes, then it gives VAC appointment option and I'm already done with my biometrics

Question - One of U.S. Consulate General Mumbai’s approved panel physician sites (Apollo Chennai, Apollo Surat, Apollo Gandhinagar, Center for Migration Medicine – Hyderabad, Max Mohali, Max New Delhi or Rele Clinic - Mumbai) required you to undergo additional medical testing as part of your examination?

If I answer "No" then there is no option to move forward. Does anyone came across with this situation?
