hello VJ friends,

to everyone need to know if its really needed now to required DNA test even if complete documents ... cause i've heard TO all who is done to process of CRBA they're complete requirement but need to DNA TEST first , i just wondering why!!!! because the last year i was done crba to my eldest son was approved without dna test just only me and my son, now another again process for my 2nd baby 8 months old now for my son crba,.. i just thinking IF the consul they might require us DNA TEST at the interview even if we are complete requirements...no problem for me and my hubby if my son to get dna test ...the problem is dna test is so expensive.

Please enlighten me girls and to all mother's out there who are done to process of crba and to others are not done yet for crba..lets gather here...

thanks everyone ......in advance..

That is what is bad about the DNA test. It is decided by whomever is conducting the interview at that time and it almost seems random. We had to have one done last year when we got my daughter's CRBA, and yes it was expensive. I have seen others that haven't had to, maybe because both parents were living together in the foreign country. The reasons vary, and there is no set standard, just the opinion of that one person on that particular day.

I can understand your feelings "It may look like there is no set standard and just the opinion of that one person on that particular day", I had some of the same feelings at our interview. The 'standard bar' may be set high but I do believe however, they have set standards. My wife and I was not living together at the time of our daughters CRBA, the consoler did talk a lot about DNA but the test was not required. I contribute that to my documentation 'foremost' my credibility and the understanding of the guidelines.

Remember the burden of proof is on the US citizen bio parent. If your lacking any of the above you will be required DNA testing, that is part of the CRBA guidlines .

I don't think they will request for DNA test for your second baby since you didn't had a problem with your first baby's CRBA.I think it will be more easier...just submit all the required documents written in the checklist and after all,your kids have the same father so no worries.

My daughter's CRBA was approved without DNA and me and my husband wasn't married that time yet and I didn't encounter any problem.

Some people even they have complete documents were requested for DNA because they want to make sure that the US citizen parent is the biological dad/mom of the applicant.

So you have to satisfy them with your proof of relationship,especially during the time of your conception of your baby..not only the complete documents for U.S. Physical presence of the father.

Agree, I remember the consular at USEM told me once we give citizenship it's vary hard to take back, we must be absolutely sure this is your biological child.

For me the main things they looked at was physical presence in the same location at applicant's time of conception, ultrasound, pre-natal care records and hospital billing receipts for the birth.
