Immigration DNA testing is a specialized form of genetic testing used to prove biological relationships between family members for immigration purposes. Often required when there is insufficient documentary evidence, this test helps establish the connection between individuals—such as between parents and children, or siblings—in cases where official records like birth certificates are unavailable, incomplete, or inconsistent.

The process is straightforward but highly regulated to ensure accuracy and legitimacy. DNA samples are collected from both the petitioner (the family member in the U.S.) and the beneficiary (the individual abroad). These samples are then analyzed by accredited laboratories, and the results are sent directly to the appropriate government authorities, such as the U.S. Embassy or immigration offices.

Immigration DNA testing is legally admissible and plays a crucial role in reuniting families by offering reliable proof of biological relationships. By adhering to strict chain-of-custody procedures, the results are both secure and recognized by immigration agencies worldwide, providing peace of mind during the immigration process.

These DNA tests are conducted using legal, chain-of-custody procedures and processed by an AABB-accredited laboratory.
