My mom was denied an immigrant visa and the case was returned to NVC for the reason that she was unable to prove a bone fide parent-child relationship.The consular officer (CO) asked her only 5 questions during the visa interview.
My mom answered all them correctly.
question 1: My date and place of birth
question 2: when did I immigrate to the states?
question 3: my profession in the US
question 4: my wife citizenship
question: where does your son live?
How can the CO come to this conclusion based on the answers of these questions?
I immigrated to the US when I was 29 years through the Diversity program. It is unconceivable that for 29 years I didn't have a relationship with my mother in my country of birth. Is there anybody in this forum who can share the proper action to take?

Thanks
 
Did you also provide a certified English translation of the birth certificate, if the certificate itself was not in English?
 
Did they ask for DNA testing? Did you or she offer to do DNA testing? "DV" screams that you are from a country with unreliable public records.

SEE: http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Resources/Ombudsman Liaison/cisomb-2009-response.pdf

"The CISOMB Annual Report indicated that, in USCIS’s response to Formal
Recommendation 26, USCIS stated that the recommended actions regarding DNA testing
were “unnecessary.”4 USCIS, however, must clarify this point: It was neither explicitly
stated nor implied in its response to the recommendation that such actions were
unnecessary. Instead, USCIS stated that the agency was drafting updates to section
204.2(d)(2)(vi) of Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to require DNA testing in
certain situations. USCIS also noted that, although current regulations do not specifically
allow officers to require DNA testing, guidance does allow petitioners to voluntarily submit
additional evidence, including DNA testing, to meet their burden of proof to show the
existence of a specific relationship. In requesting additional evidence pursuant to 8
CFR 103.2(b)(8), USCIS can, on a case-by-case basis, recommend that petitioners
voluntarily submit DNA results as evidence of a claimed biological relationship. At present,
DNA testing can only be recommended, not required. In the 2006 response, USCIS stated
that “USCIS does not preclude requiring DNA testing as a standard procedure sometime in
the future as new technology and competition make such testing more widely available and
affordable.”5" at page 11
 
They didn't ask for DNA testing. But I did offer to do and pay for DNA testing. I also provided several family pictures.
At this point, I don't know what to do.
 
What US consulate would this be? Is it in a country where the rate of immigration fraud is high?

If DOS doubts the relationship, they will return the petition to USCIS for reconsideration explaining their doubts in a formal write-up. At that point, USCIS will re-evaluate it. USCIS may simply re-affirm it and send it back to NVC, they may revoke it if based on solid evidence or, they may contact you for further evidence at which time you could proceed with the DNA testing.
