If the USCIS or consulate is not convinced that the child is indeed the biological child of the US citizen parent, then, yes, they will require double DNA testing of parent and child to get proof.

normally, a birth certificate listing both parents is good enough. of course, sometimes they leave the father's name off, and sometimes there are reasons to doubt paternity. it's more unusual to doubt maternity, but it is possible. in the Philippines in particular, it's not unusual for grandmothers to try to take children to the US as their own. but, whenever there is a significant reason to doubt the validitiy of the birth certificate, they can and usually will require a DNA test. but, the great majority of the time, the birth certificate is good enough.

finally, the DNA try could be interior the suited interest, interior the situation you're describing, of the father, then the baby. Assuming which you and your spouse get divorsed while your baby is say, 6 years previous, and then, for the period of courtroom lawsuits, a DNA try is ordered and that they locate that the baby does not belong to the father, then it may be usefull for the baby to be responsive to that the mum cheated on her husband yet after the baby is atleast 18 and is in a position to understand issues like that - no baby could desire to be forced with extreme concerns related to thier parrents that dont contain them. maximum circumstances while one discern cheats and that they get divorsed, you cant basically say to the baby " properly mommy is a bad man or woman and you're able to desire to hate her too, basically like daddy" - THATS not interior the suited interest of the baby - the baby can decide no count if he could desire to 'hate mommy' while hes and person an can decide on his very own. yet confident, it may be interior the suited interest of the father for the reason that if I have been in his place I useful as hell could choose out of that marriage for the reason that what the lady did isn't suited suited!!!. BTW in spite of the reality that the lady cheated, if the mum gets universal custody of the baby, the father, even nonetheless he replaced into not the organic and organic one, could probable nonetheless could desire to pay custody. it is via the fact the father that raised the baby is greater a father to the baby than his organic and organic one. So if the father now not needed to take part interior the childs existence and make contributions to his up bringing emotionally, bodily, and financially basically because of the fact of a DNA try, then which would be stupid because of the fact the baby, nonetheless not technically, remains in certainty your son!! to desert the baby after 6 years basically because of the fact hes not your blood could be ridiculous - you may't take your anger in the direction of your spouse, out on your baby. yet confident the spouse definately is interior the incorrect in this occasion. in certainty if I have been a choose, it does not be hard to cajole me that the father in this occasion (even nonetheless he isn't the organic and organic one) may be the suited discern for universal custody of the baby. So confident i think of the baby has the suited suited to be responsive to approximately thier organic and organic dad and mom yet not till hes 18 so as that the dad and mom cant pit eachother against eachotner using the baby. thank you ALR I completely agree!!!
