DOES DNA STAYS ON COSTOM THAT LONG?

[lotsaluv 0]

It really makes me so confuse now that I havent read any post that the DNA kit after the father does it and shipped to US EMBASSY stays at costom that long..I have just check again tracking fed ex online and it still says clearance delayed..CUSTOM wont release it without tax exemption which I called US embassy says its their first time to hear about this tax exemptions..usually fed ex delivers it to them without asking them any of these.It's still stucked in Custom when I checked it this morning and its not delivered yet to US embassy..anyone of you guys experience Custom holding the DNA kit before sending it to US embassy? Im just worried with the 90 day period guys and we already consumed 1 month and 1 week..

Hello.I'dexperienced that custom thing but not about sending the kit to US em. To make the story short, dell(in the US) send me the replacement hard drive that I ordered for my laptop through fedex and unfortunately fedex was not able to send the package to me on time due to the tax for custom and when they deliver it to me, they ask me to pay 65 USD to receive it (which I actually did). I called fedex and they said this tax for custom thing was selected randomly (which means, I was unlucky to be the one selected for this custom tax). They won't do it in every fedex packages though, like they said they will just going to select it randomly.

So, sorry to hear about that.. Call fedex for updates and also call US em and St. Luke's as well for updates like if they got the dna kit. Because like my experience before, I wouldn't know my baby's appointment for DNA collection til I call St. Luke's (they were not able to call me cos they said US em gave them a wrong number to call with. )

And by the way, if your hubby is done with his DNA collection, it should be processed first at the lab you chose that is accredited with AABB, they wont send the specimen to the embassy, only the results of the sanguinity. The kit for your baby is the one that should be send to the US em in Manila so that when it arrive, US em will forward it to st lukes and then st lukes will notify you of its arrival and ur babys appointment for the specimen collection which is to be done at the embassy witnessed by a consul.

Hey thanks for the reply and yes my hubby called the DNA LAB to ask about it and they too were upset on why it took that long and told my hubby they have also DNA last january and it didnt took that long and if they wont receive it yet on tuesday they will send another kit straight to the examiner and to make sure they will call us embassy about it.They waited till night to catch daytime here then US embassy told them theyre sorry about our case coz it waited there and will try to expedite it this week. To our surprise when my hubby was tracking it, its not clearance delayed anymore but its now in transit for delivery we were so happy we didnt expect it will be that quick response.I'm thinking my the DNA lab calling them and my calls to fed ex and us embassy examiner didnt help its just waste of money coz they both have no idea on how to solve it..DNA lab called the acceptance area of deliveries.

I feel so relieved now and about calling St. Lukes thats really so nice to know and if you still have theyre contact number may i please know so I can call them once I see its already delivered.Im sorry about your experience in waiting for them to call you (supposedly)..but its them who was waiting for your call ..I will just call them coz maybe they might give me the same reason if I wait for them LOL..anyways a big thanks to you again..

Moral lesson..Dont wait for this people to do their job..They wait for us to do theirs coz if not we wont get the right information we wanted lol

I scanned my cellphone phonebook and saw these numbers saved, you can try it - +6327230101 or +6327230301. Tell the operator you want to direct your call to the lab department.

Your always welcome.

When I called them they gave me a date for the appointment but then I told them "can I just have the appointment on blah blah blah..."... And they check the system and they said okay. Bring all docs that you think are needed to make sure, you want to be proactive.hee St. Luke's will let you know what to bring anyway when you call them.
