Hi there, I’m required to provide a family tree to prove that I’m not related to my husband.   Please share with me what I need to focus on and examples.   Also, If I do DNA test between me and my husband voluntarily, can it prove that we are not related or will USCIS accept the results?  Thank you very much and greatly appreciated

Who is requiring this?

I believe USCIS only accepts DNA testing from AABB-accredited labs.  Usually, they ask for DNA results to confirm parent child relationship.  But, I would wait until they ask you for it.  Give them what they asked for.

Presumably there is a reason

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

If you have to provide a family tree, you can make those with birth certificates. A birth certificate will have the names of both parents. A problem is if someone only has the mother but does not have the father, there is where you could add DNA if necessary. 

 

Did they tell you how far back you have to go? I'm assuming grandparents would be enough. 

 

I don't think DNA is going to be enough. You really need to put together a family tree with birth certificates.  If you don't have the information, you can contact someone that works with genealogy. Or try some of the websites for genealogy. Family Search is free and has a lot of information, though it's difficult to find anything from people who are alive due to privacy.
