Immigration DNA Testing
Why would someone need a DNA test for Immigration?
Often the U.S. Embassy or the USCIS center will notify the US petitioner that prior to immigration approval, a DNA test must be performed to prove the biological relationship with the beneficiaries. It may be required because the paperwork, such a birth certificate, is insufficient when the I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) or I-730 (Refugee/Asylees Relative Petition) forms are reviewed. Usually the requirement for a DNA test is not known until the petitioner receives a “denial letter” from the U.S. Embassy or USCIS that specifically states that a DNA test is required.
DNA Diagnostics Center simplifies the process of DNA testing for those who need proof of biological relationships for immigration:
3 Easy Steps for the Petitioner
- Call DDC to give complete information on the parties requested by the USCIS to have a DNA test:
- Provide names, phone numbers, addresses for each tested party in the foreign country.
- Advise DDC if there is a deadline to meet.
- Fax or mail a copy of the US Embassy or USCIS paperwork to DDC.
- Contact DDC to make payment (full or minimum deposit) via credit card, money order, or Western Union Quick Collect.
4 Easy Steps for DDC
- DDC schedules the U.S. petitioner’s sample collection appointment upon receipt of the minimum deposit.
- DDC provides the U. S Embassy or panel physician with the beneficiary’s information so they can arrange an appointment.
- This may take some time due to limited embassy staff or availability of appointments. (DDC has no control or authority concerning DNA sample collections abroad.)
- DDC begins DNA testing once ALL samples arrive at our laboratory.
- DDC releases DNA test results to the proper immigration authorities; the U.S. petitioner also receives a copy of the test results, as long as DNA testing fees are paid in full.
