Yah bro. Thursday my fathers dna. Local american embassy will call us to let us know the date of our test. Before dna happens we hv to aopeal they mentioned. Hopefullywe will appeal today or tom moro    

Has the lawyer told you how long it usually takes USCIS to respond to an appeal?

 

(I'm not going to even pretend I understand what the current process here is, because to my non-legal ears it sounds like things are happening out of sequence, so I will just wait for further updates once tests are done/appeals are in/outcomes are known.)

Hi,  i have had a very bad experience with DDC, so listen very carefully Do not make any mistake or leave blank when filling application or documents with the DDC and at the clinic  , you should always stay in touch with them during the process and make sure that they send the DNA result once its done , you can also ask them to provide you with Fedx tracking number so you could be sure that USCIS has received the DNA test. you should move fast, because your outside USA the embassy will take a very long time to schedule your appointment for the collection of your samples.  all the best..

One of my siblings got RFE recently too and just got approved a few days ago ( category F2B PD 2016). Her current name did not match with her birth cert and had several errors in the I-130 form leading to the RFE to establish the parent-child relationship as well as explanation for errors in I130 . The RFE list is super long. I almost cried when I saw the RFE list but I did not wait for our attorney to tell us what to do. 

-I immediately contacted the DNA lab and INSISTED to have an appointment asap and they got my parent an appointment 2 days later.

-I checked the bank account to see if the DNA lab processed the testing fee. When I noticed they had not charged the fee yet, I called them to request for them to expedite my parent's case. It was processed that same day. The lab sent us a tracking number to see when the DNA test kit was shipped to the US embassy oversea.

-When I saw the tracking status showed the package had been signed and received, I called the US embassy oversea to find out when they will schedule the DNA appt for my sister.  My sister also emailed them to find out and finally got the DNA test done. 

-The US embassy mailed the DNA sample back to DNA lab in USA. I called DNA lab to make sure they worked on my sister's case. It was done very fast and USCIS received DNA result before we even submitted our RFE response package. 

-We submitted household registration, school records since my sister was in first grade, her student IDs, photo ID, and several documents showing the name of both my parents and sister. 

-I asked my sister to go above and beyond to get everything that USCIS requests and whatever we can possibly think of to establish the relationship. It is better to have extra evidence than not having enough. 

-If we are not able to obtain proof, explanation letter and supported proof will be provided .

-I prepared our own cover page listing all the evidence and point out where in the document would answer USCIS questions. 

The immigration attorney has many clients so I am aware that our case is not the only one. The lawyer does not know our specific situation and therefore will not know what proofs we have to establish parent-child relationship, so we have to be our own advocate. I made everything available and easy for our lawyer to look at. I am paying for their expert eyes to look over the application and correct potential errors and used language that would benefit our case. 

-My attorney revised the cover page, used our ideas and re-wrote it perfectly. She organized the package and made it looks a lot better. 

After we submitted the package, I would tell myself that I would give up on this case if USCIS denied it because there is no more evidence to submit. USCIS received everything our family had. Fortunately, we got approved even before the deadline.

I hope your case will be approved too. Good luck

The appointments are made by the clinic directly, so you have very less chances to force your local embassy, the best way is ,tell the clinic that your case is time sensitive, and yes that clinic should do its their responsibility to gets things done before deadline. but you should always keep on track whats happening with them.

The appointments are made by the clinic DNA lab directly to US embassies overseas , so you have very less chances to force your local embassy, the best way is ,tell the clinic that your case is time sensitive, and yes that clinic should do its their responsibility to gets things done before deadline.  once you receive an appointment from US embassy overseas if the date is ahead you can request them to schedule an appointment early, and it also depends on the embassies . all the best.. keep in touch with your DNA lab once the test is done make sure they send the results to USCIS..
