DNA Process

Does anyone know of the DNA procedure for the embassy in Jamaica. How does it work, how long does it takes and what's the cost.

There are quite a few members who have gone through the DNA process in JA.

I have sent them this link so hopefully they will come with more details.

I know they used this company http://www.dnacenter.com/

Maybe their customer service line can help answer your questions in the mean time

I doubt that they will. If the name got put on at birth they should be fine. On a different note, if they have their sixteenth birthday before the interview date ( that is to say , if they weren't when visa got approved) they will have to get a police record.

All the best.
