At what point of the process they normally request it?? I was told that because my dad add is name afterwards they are going to request a DNA.

A Similar thing happened with me. My dad was added to by birth certificate after 20 years... even though I lived with him all my life.

 

They had asked me to submit documents to prove that he was in my life and had a relationship with him or I would need to do a DNA test. I was able to do that by submitting school report cards from primary school and high school with his name on it as a parent. Medical forms.. pretty much anything I could find that was related me and had his name on it from prior years.

 

They accepted it and so I didn't need to do DNA test.

To answer your second question  - If they decide that they want you to do a DNA test, you would have to complete that before they approve the petition your dad submitted.

My dad was never in my life it’s just me & my mother. I don’t mind doing a DNA cause I know that he’s my dad nothing to hide. I wonder what’s the cost to get it done ?? I assumed you have already migrated??
