Something I heard at Magix's yard.

But the DNA tests finds err... there's a problem.

Just imagine what would happen if they were all forced to find the right father(s).

Heartbreaks and house-wrecking ad nauseum.

Just too sad, careless and selfish for words.

Re: Nuff Jamaican Pickney Failing DNA Test

there's a website paternityfraud where US men go to get tips on how to deal with this problem in the US. Apparently, under law the child born in the marriage is legally the husband's child. I think the men on the site trying to get laws changed.
their motto is:
'if the genes dont fit, you must acquit'

Re: Nuff Jamaican Pickney Failing DNA Test

the site talks about the Georgia paternity fraud law
.
would Jamaica enact a paternity fraud or paternity mistake law
(not all cases are fraud, some are 'mistakes' when the woman is 'busy' and very 'active'

UWI did a similiar study in Jamaica where it was reveal that 1 in every 4 Jamaican is a &quot;jacket&quot;......they refuse to make the parents of the study who were wearing &quot;jackets&quot; know the results for fear of violent reprisal.

Re: Nuff Jamaican Pickney Failing DNA Test

where is the immigration DNA test being conducted? Is it using only 1 lab? Would it not be possible that the US Embassy is mixing results? I would not be suprised

Why does the Embassy suggest DNA testing?

In some cases, the Embassy suggests DNA testing to establish conclusively your claimed relationship to the U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) who filed an immigrant visa petition on your behalf.

DNA Testing Steps

Your petitioner should contact any one of the approved AABB DNA testing facilities.
If your alleged blood relative is a U.S. citizen or LPR, the U.S. laboratory will first analyze the DNA in their sample. DHL will then forward a test kit to the U.S. Embassy in Kingston. Please enusre that a commercial invoice is included in the test kit.

If your alleged blood relative resides in Jamaica, then DHL will forward two test kits to the U.S. Embassy in Kingston after the kits are paid for by the U.S. petitioner. Please ensure that a commercial invoice is included in the test kit.
When the test kit is received, you will be scheduled to come to the Embassy and submit a cheek swab tissue sample. Please bring two passport sized photos, your birth certificate and your passport.
If the DNA test verifies the claimed relationship, the Embassy will resume processing of your application.
