DNA for Parent

[rhonaC 0]

Hello Everyone,

 

I recently filed a petition for my mother and after few months waiting they finally responded to me with the case number provided. But i am a little confused because when I sent then the first documents I enclosed my birth certificate to proved that my mother is my biological parent.

The letter that they sent me asking for a copy of birth certificate and they stated that I didn't sent the documents required to them.But anyhow I will send them the BC again--Another requirement they asked me but Voluntarily is the DNA testing done. my main question is; do I have to choice to get the DNA done or No? If i dont do it, would that affect the application process? Im not sure why they ask the DNA which If I can just provide them the BC. 

 

any response is big help!

 

Thank you

What is the exact wording regarding the DNA test?

It may just be that they "offered" it as an alternative if you didn't have the birthcert, in which case I wouldn't bother.  But if they wording is more "it's voluntary, but we are strongly suggesting it" (which sometimes happens with late registered births for example), then I'd go ahead and do it.

Thank you for your response. In the letter it didn't say suggested but it says voluntarily only so, I will now go ahead and send the BC. by the way just a thoughts, Can i send all the documents like supporting documents even they didn't ask me yet or do I have to wait until they ask me? Just wondering if I can do it it will save time.

 

Thank you so much!
