Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

The fiancee is in Pakistan with four children. The petitioner is a naturalized US citizen currently in Pakistan. The fiancee applied for a visa in early November after receiving approval from the NVC. The embassy official received all the requested documents as well as pictures of the fiancee and her deceased husband. They have "suggested" that the fiancee obtain DNA testing for herself and her four children at a cost of nearly $1500, which she is hesitant to do because of the price. Medical exams and application fees have already cost her about $3500. Can they deny her application if she does not get the DNA testing done? The fiancee has written to the embassy in Islamabad and the US citizen has written to Senator Gillibrand of NY, but not responses have been received yet. What should be the next step? The waiting is very stressful.

They have the right to request a DNA test. More than likely her application will not be denied but her children may be if she does not comply with their request. I would strongly urge you to bite the bullet and pay the fee.
