US Citizen and DNA

[sheela 0]

Greetings,

Dear experts and friends - I am in process of filling for my parents and few siblings who are some step and some my real siblings . I believe when I apply for all of my family members which will be total of 7 applications at once I will be asked to go through DNA test . I will apply in March 2014 and I am reading about the process witch will take months for an authorized test center to send the test kit-result to uscis or an embassy. Can I go to an authorized test center now and submit my DNA. My DNA result is something that will never going to change, when I apply and uscis asks me to go for a test it will save time I will call the center to send my result to uscis or embassy, do you think its a smart thought? Do you think the center will keep my kit result for a year or more?

That's a far way to go...first apply for your parents, siblings takes up to 10-12 yrs

to get visas and they are thinking about eliminating siblings filing for each other, so

far that's not the law yet but it could become a reality, only those apps already in will

continued to be processed, file for your parents and have them file for kids when they

become LPRs, at the consulate is when a DNA would be requested by CO, your

own tests would not be accepted

So USCIS will accept my siblings application and when their visa become available the consulate will ask us to provide DNA?

You cannot file for your step-siblings. You can only file for your biological siblings.

It would be better to file for your parents, then once they're here they file for their children. It would be quicker (usually, depends on age).
