Hello, last year, I had to travel tot he US from Canada due to a family emergency; my son was very ill (non-covid related) and resides in the US which is why I had to go an see him.
Even back then, it took a lot of back and forths to get the opportunity to have an interview at an appropriate time and place, as initially the only time available was a year from when I was applying and in a different and very far away province. From there, there was yet more opposition to come.
The visa I received back then was only 2 months to boot, and as such it has already expired. I would like to visit my son again to see how he has been; he is doing much better since my last visit when he had surgery, so this visit wouldn't really be an emergency, but I would like to be there for him nonetheless.
I am worried however that the process will be much more challenging and I will not be able to get an appropriate interview date and location let alone obtain the visa itself. As such, I am curious if anyone else has attempted to apply for a US Visa and how it went.
Finally, I should mention that I am a Canadian Permanent Resident and not a citizen.
What is the current statues of US Immigration?
