What is Immigration Testing

What is Immigration DNA Testing?

Immigration DNA testing is a highly accurate and reliable method used to establish biological relationships for immigration applications. When documentary evidence (such as birth certificates or family records) is insufficient or unavailable, DNA testing provides scientific proof of a biological relationship between a petitioner and a beneficiary.

Many countries, including the United States, use DNA testing as supporting evidence in visa applications, citizenship claims, and family reunification cases.
Who Benefits from Immigration DNA Testing?

Immigration DNA testing is commonly used in cases involving:

✔ Family-Based Visa Petitions – When a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident sponsors a family member (parents, children, siblings, etc.) for immigration.
✔ Citizenship Applications – Establishing paternity or maternity for citizenship claims.
✔ Refugee & Asylum Cases – Proving familial ties for immigration purposes.
✔ Consular Processing Requests – When U.S. embassies or consulates require genetic proof of relationship.
✔ Legal Adoption Cases – Confirming relationships for immigration and visa processing.

If a petitioner is unable to provide traditional legal documents, DNA testing serves as an alternative, court-admissible form of evidence.
How Accurate is Immigration DNA Testing?

✅ 99.99% Accuracy – Immigration DNA tests provide results with an extremely high level of accuracy for biological relationships.
✅ Accredited by AABB & ISO-Certified Labs – U.S. immigration authorities, including USCIS, U.S. Embassies, and the Department of State, only accept results from AABB-accredited laboratories.
✅ Legally Recognized – DNA results are court-admissible and accepted by immigration offices worldwide.

How is Immigration DNA Testing Performed?

The process is quick, simple, and non-invasive, typically involving a cheek swab (buccal swab) to collect DNA samples from both the petitioner and the beneficiary.

Step-by-Step Immigration DNA Testing Process

1️⃣ Case Initiation – A USCIS, NVC, or Embassy officer may recommend a DNA test if there is insufficient documentary proof of a relationship.
2️⃣ Schedule an Appointment – The petitioner provides details to an AABB-certified lab for test scheduling.
3️⃣ Sample Collection (Petitioner & Beneficiary)

• The petitioner’s sample is collected at an accredited U.S. lab or clinic.

• The beneficiary’s sample is collected at a U.S. embassy, consulate, or authorized lab in their home country.
  4️⃣ Secure & Certified Testing – The samples are shipped securely to an AABB-accredited laboratory for processing.
  5️⃣ Analysis & Matching – The lab compares DNA markers to determine biological relationships with 99.99% certainty.
  6️⃣ Results Submission – The official test results are sent directly to the immigration agency (USCIS, NVC, or the U.S. Embassy) and to the petitioner.

📌 Processing Time: Results are typically available within 5–10 business days after sample collection.
