You don't automatically need a DNA test, most of the time they won't require one, but they can ask if they feel there is a question about paternity or maternity.

Thank you so much...its a relief!

Most common use of a DNA test is to prove the kid isn't yours. USCIS just seems happy with a birth certificate. Marriage certificate also helps, but they want that anyway.

Haven't found the USCIS to be that critical as long as your paperwork is in order, certified, and all that. Recall an incident with a government agent from the DOD about steel I ordered that was certified to military specifications. How do you know that certificate is good? The only thing we could do was to measure the thickness. How do you know your micrometer is accurate. I gauged it against our joule blocks. How do you know your joule blocks are accurate? I showed him the certificate. He said this certificate is old, so I had to have my joule blocks recertified, then he was finally happy. This steel was 32 mil thick with a tolerance of +/- 3 mils, was used in a none stressed application, but you can really meet some hardheads.

Thought did occur to me even about my own birth certificate, just names on it, mine, the parents, the doctors, but nothing on it to personally identify myself with it. But it was accepted that that was me.

guess the image of my son now is exactly the same as his father. I have all the picture's since he was a baby at delivery room with his father exactly look the same and now that he is 4 yrs old. picture's and his father military record and other stuff. all documents is original except of DNA but since i knew from here that DNA is not really necessarily then it doesn't worry me at all unless they will ask for it. HOpefully not,.

Thanks

If your husband is a USC, your son born out of the USA is also a USC, just formalizing this process. But this should have been done shortly after his birth by contacting your nearest US Embassy. If your husband is in the US military, suspect the people at your embassy will treat you very nice.

Just making assumptions here, but sounds like your case is like Ant+D+BabyA's, where her husband and baby are USC's, but she was the eight ball so to speak in that she was the immigrant, until recently. So what about you? Since her son was born a USC, he didn't have to take the test, but she did.
