There is a small chance they will ask for DNA evidence, but unlikely.

Your mom can ring DOS and see if there is an update.

If you don't bring evidence of relationship with your mother, it will depend of the consular officer to deny your visa or give you another chance to bring it. Mostly they will let you bring the evidence another time but you should know that you must prove that the petitioner is your biological mother through pictures or other evidences. If you don't have strong evidence of relationship, you can volunteer for a DNA right on and indicate your willingness to take a maternity test. The CO will try to save you money and ask you if you can provide any proof, but you don't have it, you don't have it. The other option is to provide what you have (or say you don't have it) but then in this case the CO can deny your visa for failing to prove relationship (although like I said unlikely unless he/she is mean). Without strong evidence, I would pick up the DNA cost and volunteer for the test to seal off potential risks.

Why would you even recommend someone to do this... matter of fact the immigrant visas in the IR5, F3, F4, F1, F2A are sooo easy to be approved for. Your suggestion would be fit for someone who lacks confident of a relationship. Pictures are not really necessary... both cert. is enogh.

do not volunteer DNA to the embassy/consulate

If you care to look closely, you will see that I suggested volunteering for DNA if there is a lack of "strong evidence" - not just pirctures - showing maternal relashionship and as an option. Unlike you, I didn't tell the OP what to or not to do. I gave out options based on my experience so that the OP can pick one he is comfortabl with. He can even choose not to volunteer for DNA (and that is one of my suggestions except neither it was presented as do/don't nor it was my preference given there is a lack of evidence).

And no, birth certificate is NOT enough to prove maternal relationship in the Addis Ababa consulate. Normally they will ask the visa applicant to bring evidence showing there was an ongoing mother/child relationship such as pictures together, financial support docs, school records, letters etc. It is essential part of the requirement.

trust me... English being my 1st language and having clear understand of it ... i'm able to read it well. And my response still remains the same. Do not volunteer DNA...make no sense at all to do this. Why then not tell the Immigration officer during the interview that if he/she doenst believe you then "I'll volunteer a lie detector test"

How a lie detector test is comparable to DNA test in immigration law is beyond me. A lie detctor doesn't have any standing in immigration law. DNA has and even considered the best way to prove parent/child relationship. COs are even relying on DNA more often than not in countries where birth certificates are easily obtainable and issued long after birth. Anyway, we are both trying to help the OP here. I am sure the OP will consider all thoughts offered here, including yous and mine.
