I already have one, but the lawyer advised it’s not going to be sufficient since the period of birth is far from when the doc was issued and Nigeria is notoriously known for fake documents. Hence only DNA can work

Was this for filing for a parent. I came in via K1 as well and have used the court affidavit and NPC document all through. But for filling for my mum is getting quite different

Thank you, I’d already reached out to an accredited medical lab here which I got the link from the US consulate website. They are very familiar with the process. They said my lawyer has to contact them 1st with the intent for the DNA and then I pay the fees about $800 which the bulk is to ship the test kit to the consulate in Lagos, the consulate will then contact my mum to come and submit the samples.

I'll let the lawyer know. However, I already have the NPC "To whom it may concern" Attestation Of Birth which the lawyer said will not be sufficient. Thank you

I recently became a US citizen and need to file for my mom whom the consulate had denied Visa thrice for no reason. upon speaking to a lawyer whom I plan to use to help file. he said since my birth certificate is missing. Myself and my mom will have to take a DNA test and he advised we take it before applying so to reduce the chances of rejection which we'll still have to go back and take the test. I have a national population document and a court affidavit to prove my age but he said this will not fly with USCIS. Has anyone gone through similar circumstances and did you just go to any random medical laboratory to do the test? I'm in the US and my mum is in Nigeria. Please, advise.
