I Need help please. Dna was requested
upon the interview the consular requested a dna to be done between my brother who is petitioning for my father. the birth certificate has a misspelling of my fathers name and they requested the dna. the issue is my brother is refusing to do the dna because he has a phobia of doctors that started during Covid and he hasn’t been the same since he started smoking weed, he is a very paranoid person and is mentally unstable and doesn’t want to go for whatever reason. he offered to fix the birth certificate and submit a notarized affidavit explaining his situation while having other immediate family members do there own affidavit to try and submit it through the nvc portal but we are not sure if that would work, he was exited for our dad to come and would speak to him everyday for hours and they talk about him coming. but once they asked for the dna he completely switched up and started making all sort of excuses and now isn’t even returning his phone calls. my question is what are any other options to complete this. my father has already completed his dna and is now waiting for my brother. it’s been 2 years to get to this point and it’s a shame what’s going on. this is the most unique situation I have ever heard of and need some help please

If embassy/consulate didn't received DNA result within a year (from date of interview) then they will close your father case and there is no alternative of DNA

There’s no alternative..maybe offer to give your brother some money? Since he’s the petitioner, if he doesn’t agree to do a DNA, it may look like he’s no longer interested in filing for your Dad.

Well First of all, you don't need to go to a doctor per say to Get DNA tested, it's done at a lab and the only thing they do is take a swab and rub it in your mouth; no big deal. So the phobia thing will not be sufficient to have the DNA waived. There might be other reasons as to why he doesn't want to get tested, The other option is you filling for your dad at this point

@Fusion Gold yes this is what I assumed, thank you

@Pepertua A this is a really weird issue that I never heard of in my life, who files for a parent then goes through the whole process for 2 years then after they get an interview at the embassy and request dna you completely switch up and don’t want to finish. this makes no sense to me and a complete waste of time, and lack of consideration for someone’s life, we explained to him that my father already gave up his apartment and is staying with a friend temporarily since he thought he was finished, but my brother doesn’t give a f*ck about anyone but himself.

@scaves Caves I wish I knew why he doesn’t want to get tested, I don’t think he has done anything that would get him in trouble he barely leaves the house and is just a very paranoid person since he started smoking weed. this has been going on for a few years now and he doesn’t want to get help voluntarily, he is 30 years old and my mother takes care of him. I can’t file for my father since I am awaiting my application to be approved, my brother is a us born citizen.

@Ace 24 I am very sad 😔 about all of this. I don't even understand why?? after all... this is his father. sorry. I hope you can find a way to talk to him and get some sense into him..hope for the best

Maybe see if it’s possible to arrange for a doctor that can do a house visit?

@Yevi Lu thank you so much 🙏

@Pepertua A we contacted a few dna companies and they all said he has to physically come in person with passport photos and valid ID. the closest place is 15 minutes from his house but he is still refusing. thank you for the insight. it is in gods hands now.
