(MODS READ THE WHOLE THING B4 YOU SAY ITS A DUPLICATE TOPIC ITS NOT)

My wife got her cr1 visa in December and it expires in may, my wife has a CRBA appointment for our child this month in Manila. She will be going alone and has lots of evidence, but on

the off chance she is requested to have a dna test, everything will be ruined. Im here in the US and if she is requested to have a dna test i will have to pay lots of money to get a dna

test shipped over there and wait for it to be shipped back and the results given to the embassy. Our relationship is legit and the baby is mine but my main worry is, that if they

request one, the results might not get back to the US embassy b4 her visa expires. If it did expire what would happen, would i have to start the I-130 process all over again and wait

another year b4 i see my Wife and daughter? My daughter is 4 months old and i havent got to see her yet. my and my wife met 2 years ago and i flew over there for xmas in 2011, we got

married early january 2012, and i lived with her till early march of 2012. then i left to start work and the Cr1 process, which took almost a year, and im soooo scared its all going to

be ruined because her visa will expire, huhuhuh i dont know what to do! I dont want to start the CR1 process all over again!

would it make sense to go to the PI for the CRBA interview? IMO, it does, from a time and money persepctive.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Wow i did not mean to post it here can someone move it for me to the Philippines thread?

Moved to Philippines regional fourm per your request.

If it did expire what would happen, would i have to start the I-130 process all over again and wait

If the visa is not used before it expires, then you are back to Square One (i.e. yes, you have to go back to the start by filing a new petition).

I posted a link about someone who went through DNA Testing for her daughter. It is a different case than yours for it was not a CRBA case but she highlighted how she was able to expedite the process. Took less than 2 months for the DNA Testing. check out the link: http://www.visajourn...up-the-process/

Maybe your worrying way too much about this. You might likely not be required to have DNA Testing. Clearly you have a lot of documentation proving she is your biological daughter. Think positive. Good luck. good.gif

I would but my wife already bought the plane tickets to fly to the interview and if i go all the way there and they still require it , i will have no money to try to fix the situation.

do you think i could bring my wife to america, get her residency stamp then fly her back when they request for the dna smapling, that way she gets a extra year without it expiring.

Yup, Guam is a US Territory.

She can fly into Guam on her visa, do the POE stuff there,

and her green card automagically shows up at your address.

Suggest she stay a week in Guam, then return to the PI.

Now there is a good idea.

I have them, on occasion. Seems rare, this year, so far :(

i thought i have to be with her at the point of entry

Heck No ! No rules, regs or guidelines stating so.
