Cost of DNA testing

Does anyone know the approximate cost of having the DNA test done? My husband and daughter are in Haiti and the visa office has requested it.

I did it back in 2008, it cost $ 800.00. It's a long process

I found out now. It is costing $565. I paid half and will pay the other half when the results are in.

why did the visa office request the dna test?

My husband has a 15 year old daughter whose mother died giving birth to her. She was raised the first 10 years of her life by her grandmother and his name was not on her original birth certificate. A few years ago he had a new certificate with his name added as the father. Because he made the certificate so late in her life, the visa office wants to confirm hes actually the dad .
