My friend in Atlanta filed for his biological daughter in Jamaica. After the 130, they gave him a RFE. He had a DNA test. He used LabCorp.His daughter had her test in Kingston. The USCIS got the results before he did. He is the child's father (99.9%). His daughter had her interview in January. They took her passport and said she will receive the visa. About 2 weeks ago, the Embassy called the daughter. She was told she needed a DNA test. She explained that the test was already done. He faxed and e-mailed the report to the Embassy. He received an e-mail that the DNA test is under review. Has anyone had a similar experience?

the embassy needs to confirm the child his really his. many jamaican "fathers" tends to sponsor a child he think maybe his own but turned out otherwise.

Ricardo,

Thanks for responding. His daughter's visa arrived yesterday. He was told that she has to pay an additional $160 visa fee (recently implemented on February 1, 2013). She will be in the U.S. next week.
