Lining up for the dream. U.S. Conulate in Santo Domingo.
Picture 1 of 2
Santo Domingo.- When Miguel Familia went with his wife Yessica Guerrero to the U.S. consulate in the Dominican Republic to get a residence for their youngest daughter, he would’ve never thought it would end up in divorce.
The consulate denied the residence to Alexis Ashley Familia in December 2005 after the DNA test conducted by the clinic ??Testing & Research said she wasn’t Miguel’s biological daughter.
Quoted by listin.com.do, Miguel Familia said he separated from his wife of seven years and then decided to retest his daughter’s DNA with the local lab chain Amadita, which contradicts the first, proving that he is in fact the biological father.
He said the paternity test’s erroneous results by a U.S. lab destroyed his family and years later, decided to sue the U.S. Consulate for US$100.0 million in damages to him and his family.
Familia’s lawsuit was filed today in the National District 3rd Civil and Commercial Chamber, which scheduled a hearing for a date to be announced by the court secretary.

Stupid, do not file any law suits against any US agency or company in the DR,. you will lose. I hate to say it, but the smart US lawyers, will buy off (pay off) the local judicial system.

And this:
Medina blames IMF for electricity crisis
President Danilo Medina says that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is "fundamentally responsible" for the financial crisis that affects the Dominican electricity sector, because the specialists from the multilateral financial agency have always believed that the energy problem could be resolved by increasing collections, addressing the technical losses and reducing energy theft.
You have to be f'en kidding us, right?
The IMF is to blame.
Is there no sense of honesty here?
Must we always blame someone else for our failings?
I have always believed that in the DR if someone does something wrong or improperly, but has a good excuse, to them that is the same thing as doing it right.

the guy is an ass, and he is going to lose. unless the testing lab is a part of the US State Department, the embassy is only going on information given to them by a private provider. the second hurdle is that there are two conflicting reports. how does he know who is right?. he better not spend that money too soon. it is not that easy to beat Uncle Sam.

Dominican authorities have to be the most moronic and cruel people on earth.
They could not do the right thing if their life depended on it.
Now if it was some other moronic authority, then no problem, go to the US.
Pathetic.

I would like to know which lab the U.S. Consulate uses, is it local like Patria Rivas or do they send the swabs back to the US.
The article mentions the name of the lab where the test says he is the father but not the lab who shows he isn't.

The man's big mistake is suing him in a Dominican Court. He should be suing in the USA. If he did he would easily win a judgement if it even went to trial. More likely the Gov. would just settle with a check that contains more zeros than this guy will ever see in his life.

The wife should be the one suing - that would make more sense. I hope he didn't hit is wife!

@BASTA you said it man. If the society and culture were not so f#*%@ed up (i.e. men cheating on their wives with babies and having babies with 5 other women) perhaps this dolt may have stuck by his wife. I would never let some bureaucracy define the relationship with my wife. Incredible.

That's a mess. If one test is wrong then why depend on the other being correct? Get a bunch of tests from reputable labs here and the states.
If you loved your wife and the kid at the time I sure would want hard evidence before drastic measures are taken. To assume the test here was the correct one is also risking. New to town I had 2 routine blood tests done at 2 places here the same day and got 2 different results the same day. One was within limits the other was not. Then I went to the next town and had a test done to see which matched since I need tests done on regular basis and can't be guessing what my health is.
Seven years later and $100m is a little out there. .
Even my friend took his dog to the vet because he thought it had thyroid problem. The blood test from SD came back negative and my friend didn't believe it so he went to another vet who gets his blood test done in Canada and it came back positive for the condition.
Go figure.

He said the paternity test’s erroneous results by a U.S. lab , I should read the entire article.
How can he sue the US government if they contract an ouside private company to conduct their tests ? Is that doable... he should have had a second or third test done right away.
I think he will probably get a letter that says "sorry for the inconvenience"

Here we out-source some of the most sensitive, and risky procedures to private labs, however, the COR (contra rep) is the one who is liable (responsible). Reason: we order/mandate to the pt to use those services. However, in the event of any malpractice litigation, then it becomes a legal matter between the care provider and the lab responsible for the results.

If it was a local contractor, quit whining and grow a spine. How do we know this wasn't his plan from the beginning? The rest of the world needs to be responsible for their own decisions and their own country's corruption. Kind of a failure would not immediately get a second test at a second laboratory? Sue here, sue there, get a real job and try to understand what loyalty is. You "Cubans" are pathetic with your pointing your fingers at the US. Go borrow the People's mirror and take a look at your own country.

The story doesn't make sense. If the mother already has US residency, then wouldn't her daughter get US residency regardless of who the biological father is? If the mother didn't have US residency, why would the "father" be applying for the daughter's residency unless he was already planning a separation?

great point, Roy. i did not think of that, but you make an excellent point. who cares who that father is, as long as the mother resides in the USA?
