DNA Testing Requirements for Immigration to the USA

Immigration DNA testing for the US can comprise maternity, kinship, or a paternity test. The main purpose of this testing is to grant approval to a visa applicant to the US who already has relatives there. Note that the US Embassy and Consulate, which deals in immigration DNA testing, doesn’t regard distant relatives as close blood relations. Therefore, the kinship should be close to your lineage and parentage, such as your uncle, grandparent, son, brother, etc.

This method of testing ensures high accuracy in verifying family relationships. It becomes a necessary process once there is no source of credible document or proof to verify the relationship between the visa applicant and the beneficiary. In the US, different departments may require Immigration DNA testing. They include:

  • S. Embassy
  • Department of Homeland Security
  • USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services)

Here’s what the Immigration DNA testing allows you to acquire in your biological relationship’s verification process.

  • Citizenship petitions
  • Immigrant Visa
  • S. passport applications

Why Would You Require DNA Testing for US Immigration?

DNA testing is the most accurate method of verifying biological relationships, especially for the immigration process. For some, passing the Immigration DNA testing can help families reunite. If the US immigration department finds any uncertainty or problem in the petition request, they may demand a DNA testing report.

This mainly occurs when a visa applicant goes for an immigration petition but doesn’t provide sufficient details and credible proof to verify their relationship with their kin in the US already. Therefore, immigrant DNA testing may be necessary to clear the information about the beneficiary and petitioner’s relationship. For countries where there aren’t credible birth certificates and several important documents, DNA testing for immigration is a must.

On the other hand, if you and your kin provide appropriate proof of your biological relationship as a petitioner or beneficiary, you may still need to pass the immigration DNA test. Staying calm in such situations is the best approach, as the test will surely pass if you aren’t committing any fraud.

Furthermore, with strict background checking and regulations, there isn’t usually any room for fraud in the immigration process. Combine that with the DNA tests, and you will have to go through a rigid immigration petition process. However, your focus should be the test results that will confirm your biological relationship with your beneficiary.

Types of DNA Sampling for Immigration

While DNA testing is one of the most accurate biological relationship testing methodologies, it is now widely used for legal issues and processes. It is better and accurate than many other testing and relationship verification methods; DNA testing has various types.

The preferred technique to collect the specimen of the petitioner and/or applicant is through a buccal swab. This involves using non-invasive cotton swabs that easily collect DNA by gathering cells from the open mouth or cheek cavity.

It is the most common DNA sample collection method instead of the blood samples. This is because swabs are painless, non-invasive, comfortable, and easier to ship overseas/abroad. You should know that the DNA testing standards and reliability have crossed the average accuracy barriers by reaching matches of 99.99% accuracy. Surprisingly, the Consular officer in the US might not accept a DNA test result that has accuracy below 99.95%.

Requirements and Process of DNA Testing for Immigration to the US

The US Government and Immigration Department demand that you get DNA testing facilities and services of only AABB-accredited and certified testing labs. These are the only test results that are legally permissible. AABB accreditation requirement from the US government and Immigration office enforces higher testing standards, zero-contamination, and lower chances of inaccurate results.

These are a few simple steps that you may have to follow if the immigration office requires you or your family to provide DNA test results.

Initially, choose a DNA testing lab that is AABB-certified (American Association of Blood Banks).

The lab shall collect DNA samples of the parties involved and then perform tests with highly accurate values. Further, they will directly send the DNA kit to the US Embassy or Consulate. Upon receiving the DNA kit, the embassy will have an appointment with the applicant for their DNA sample.

The test results will directly reach the US Immigration office and the senior officials. Remember that mailing your DNA test results from home using at-home DNA testing kits will result in rejection and greater delays in the verification process.
