K1 being held up due to DNA for K2

[SennaBrigante 92]

I'm only assuming that since K1 and K2 were submitted together that they want it to be approved together?

I've only ever heard of this for CRBA cases with beneficiary parents. So odd.

Looks like the costs vary from $420 to $683 USD. I have not officially paid for any wedding items, I knew to wait for that. I have held dates etc. I double checked the DS-160 and I answered the questions correctly one being is the minor child traveling with you to the US and I said "No". the next question was do you intend for the minor child join you later in US I said "yes." The embassy is clear that her travel was always meant to be later, as I would be required to submit a separate DS-160 for her at the time I did her father. She too would have been interviewed etc. she is 14, that means she would have been processed just as he was if the intent was ever that she travel with him now, There are several dynamics going on here and there is a chance that she will remain in Jamaica and we will support her financially from here. Again, I am still failing to see why all of this would be required now prior to his K1 visa being issued. We wanted to deal with bringing the child at a later date due to all of the back and forth on whether or not she will come. The DNA test is not the problem, they need DNA to prove she is eligible for him to file for her...fine, but why does it have to be done now? Or are we missing something. DNA is done all the time with one individual in the US and the other abroad. Once we are 100% sure she in fact wants to come to the US we will complete the process. I don't understand what is so hard about that.

My fiance and are going through the exact same thing right now. We are totally confused. Could you give an update on your case? What should we now expect?
