I understand what you are saying, and why, but we don't really know the couple's relationship status and asking her to agree to a DNA test may well be unreasonable for both of them. It's OK to say "I want peace of mind etc etc" but there is an element of disrespect in doing a DNA test - would we do the same in the UK if we were in a stable relationship, I'm not so sure we would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing that has come about with my friend is he's now been unemployed for over a month and it looks like his previous employer has folded the company without paying him. He's had no money now for about 3 weeks and an almost empty fridge. Now that his PESO nality has gone she's confided in my friends partner that she's heading for greener pastures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you're coming from but for me and the experiences I've seen I wouldn't shy away from a DNA test. Sure you can be subtle and explain it away as a requirement for the child's passport etc but I've always told my partners from day one if they expect marriage and a family I will be having a DNA test. If they are offended then there's the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for the USA. Edited August 8, 2019 by robert k spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never make it compulsory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Embassy offered a lower cost DNA option as an either / or choice, I might have gone for it. Maybe $500 max would be worth it? However, you will still have to supply quite a few documents like the PSA BC, etc. Hours of questioning is actually about 5 minutes. If they don't like your application, straight to the DNA test! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they made the DNA test standard, it would be cheaper, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an element of doubt then I'm not sure I'd be going forward in the relationship. I suppose if you're up front from Day 1 fair enough.
