RFE DNA Test

[meblue 5]

Hi meblue... CONGRATULATIONS! Good to know someone here in PI has the same case in DNA testing

I just called USEM this morning to follow up our visa if it is approved after 4 weeks of waiting after the interview (anyway they gave us 221g during the interview they were not convinced with the additional docs I submitted to them thru 2go). So, My son and I requested for a DNA test too. We want the whole process faster. USEM will send the instructions today to our petitioner (my hubby). I think it will take sometime before he will receive it and start the whole process if he waits for the mail. If he can able to choose and contact the AABB Facility now, are there any documents my hubby have to present along with the payment?

Thanks for ur time in advance

Our interview was June 6, 2012, the CO asked a DNA test. They said that we will wait for the papers and instruction from the USE. They will send it to our address in the US, if you wait for that letter it will takes 3 - 4 weeks. My husband got the letter in June 27th the day the US Embassy took our DNA samples. We did not wait for that letter and instruction from the US Embassy. On that same day after our interview, I chatted my husband in skype and I scanned the 221g document that I got from the US Embassy and sent it to my husband in his email. Then my husband go to the US embassy Manila website and there are list of AABB Accredited Relationship (DNA) Testing Facilities in the US, we choose the AABB Accredited closer to our place. My husband call them and he provided them our MNL case number, my name and my daughter's name, our birthday and he emailed them the documents requesting a DNA test that I got from the USE. The AABB Accredited said they handled many cases like this and they already know what to do. They provided us a tracking number of the DNA kit so we will know if the USE got the DNA kit.

If you haven't gotten the 221g letter yet. You and your husband can request the US Embassy to send that letter as soon as they can.

I read somewhere that they called the USE, and asked them to email the 221g document. Maybe your husband can do it, so you can get the 221g document right away.

During our DNA process. My husband called the US Embassy a bunch of times and asked them that he want to talk to the supervisor because the supervisor can tell you more information about the process.

Completed DNA testing process June/July 2014. Verified embassy has results in August.Priority date eligible for Sept. (again) waiting for embassy to move forward. No contact from embassy! Made contact twice in Sept/Oct and all they can do is email the case officer. Medical will expire in Nov. the embassy has not requested passport yet so I'm expecting to get screwed financially again! DNA cost, second medical, immigration fee.. I just wish they would follow some protocol? Seems like they are making it up as they go along? I'm lost for words/ideas? What should be next step? Wait for the incompetence to get around to doing thier job?!
