Are you asking will they ask for a DNA test at interview? Highly unlike;y since your children are citizens. There is no need. But they still may ask to establish that you are the father of the children that is the reason why they do such things. Especially if there has been a long period of time since you last saw each other. Or they aren't convinced.

If they ask for DNA like I told the OP it's about a 2 to 4 month wait. The children get swab at the lab in US. Then you are called in to embassy to get swabbed. You testis sent in the results are collected and sent to the embassy. A new appointment is scheduled and you are called in and given the results.

Hello,

I am awaiting my interview date from nvc however the petitioner is my wife and we submitted the birth certificates of our two kids as part of the documentation. In this case where I am d only one in Nigeria and d kids answer my name from day 1 ll I still be asked to go for DNA test to confirm and my kids father.

The whole process has been incredibly long hence want to have an idea of how long I may likely still have to wait.

Tnx guys looking forward to ur reply.

Hello Guys,

@good member,

We have been lovers since 2003, she won the usa visa lottery in 2005 and then we were having issues so I decided not to have her add my name to her docs however we settled it, had our traditional wedding in 2007 and our son came later that year (we had him in md). She came back to Nigeria and went back to usa in 2008 pregnant with our daughter. I lost my job soon after and wasn't able to fund my family visit to Nigeria. That's d story, am not so good @ story telling but I hope u understand now.

However we have agreed to do our court wedding once n for all.

Thank u all.

Dwheels, Tnx for ur comment. This will surely help us make d best move.

Tnx.

Tnx Steve. We have 2 beautiful kids together and they are both with her do u think that can help?

Hello guys,

I need you guys to advise me on the two options before me and my woman. September last yr she filed a K1 visa for me but it was denied because we hadn't met in 2 years at that time however my woman is visiting this month hence we are crossed btw getting married and filling the spouse visa or to still go with d K1 visa cos of the previous filling.

I ll appreciate ur kind advice.

Tnx

So sorry man, she never loved u from the onset. The best move is for u to follow the advice everyone seem to be giving u here, run as far away from her as u can and inform uscis.

Wishing you joy.

@Chris,

She has gotten her citizenship already that's y she filed the papers. We have both waited patiently till she got her citizenship june dis year.

I am trusting GOD our application will be approved soon, GOD always make seemingly impossible things possible and HE will do the same thing concerning my filing.

Tnx for ur replies.

@Jim,

She won it in 2005 and was traveling and coming back to see me till oct 2008. She hasn't been able to come for visiting since 2008 for financial reasons.

Tnx.

Hello all,

I ve a similar case to this too, my fiancee n I ve been dating in Nigeria years before she relocated to usa after winning a visa lottery, I wasn't around in d country when she won it. She left for usa in 2008 for the last time till now n we were supposed to get married in 2009 in usa but I got laid off due to the financial crisis 09 and she is barely able to pay the bills there hence I support her and our 2 kids with whatever money I make from the small job I have. We have two kids together both american citizens.

She filed my K1 mid august and we received NOA1 shortly after hence we are waiting for the NOA2. She mentioned the fact that we have 2 kids together and quoted their SSN on the form for reference purpose @ USCIS but I will like to know if that will be enough since our current financial state can't afford us the luxury of seeing each other through visits now.

Our kids answer my surname.

I will aappreciate ur views n advice.

Tnx.

Hello all,

I am new here but I am glad am with u guys. My fiancee also put in my K1 filing in late august and we have gotten the NOA1 soon after but haven't hrd anything since then.

How has the waiting been for u guys? I ve been anxious so far lol really can't wait to be there with my woman and our two kids (both with her n americans too).

Have fun.
