    Default What Happens to U.S. Immigration if Your Legal Father is Not Your Biological Father

    The child of a U.S. citizen obtained private DNA testing on herself and her sister, in association with her effort to try to qualify for entry into the U.S. under the Haitian refugee reunification program. Her father holds a U.S. Green Card. The DNA testing confirmed that her sister is her father's child, but the woman herself was surprised to learn that she's not biologically related to her father. Is the biologically unrelated child eligible for admission?

    Default Re: What Happens to U.S. Immigration if Your Legal Father is Not Your Biological Fath

    Reading between the lines here, this would appear to be a situation in which the parents were unmarried and paternity was not previously established under Haitian law. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done in this type of forum; the parent and child should consult an immigration lawyer with the details and to discuss their options.
