DNA - how to speed up the process

Our DNA test timeline: 7 weeks from the interview date

6/06/2012 - Interview Date

6/06/2012 - Interview; Result: need DNA Test

6/6/2012 - Ordered and Paid DNA Kit - I chatted my husband through Skype,I scanned the 221g document requesting DNA test that I got from the US Embassy and sent it to my husband in his email. Then my husband go to the US embassy Manila website and there are list of AABB Accredited Relationship (DNA) Testing Facilities in the US,we choose the AABB Accredited closer to our place. He provided them our MNL case number, my name and my daughter's name, our birthday and he emailed them the documents requesting a DNA test.

6/11/2012 - DNA Kit arrived.

6/15/2012 - Paid St Lukes (PHP 1,500) for the DNA sample collection

6/27/2012 - DNA samples collection for me and my daughter at the US Embassy

7/03/2012 - US Embassy got the DNA result (the same day that my husband got the 221g letter requesting DNA test though snail mail from the US Embassy) I'm glad we did not waited for that mail and we save 27 days.

7/11/2012 - My husband called the US Embassy and they said that our case was forwarded to the CO for the final review.

7/25/2012 - Visa approved

7/27/2012 - Visa delivered

They just do the DNA sample collection in US Embassy Manila every Wednesday and I've noticed that they forwarded our case to the CO at 7/11/2012 Wednesday and 7/25/2012 Wednesday - Visa approved
