How Immigration DNA Testing Works at Our Campbell Facility

The process involves two collection points: the petitioner here in the U.S. and the visa applicant at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Here’s how it unfolds.

The Petitioner’s Appointment

The petitioner schedules an appointment at our Campbell location. A certified collector gathers a DNA sample via cheek swab, and that sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis. The process is non-invasive and takes only minutes.

The Visa Applicant’s Appointment

The visa applicant is directed to make an appointment at the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate. The required testing fee must be paid before that appointment, and the payment receipt must be brought along. Without it, the appointment may be rescheduled. At the embassy or consulate, the visa applicant must present their passport, a valid photo ID, and the payment receipt. Officials witness the cheek swab collection to support accuracy, and the sample is then sent to the U.S. facility for analysis.

Results & Next Steps

Once results are available, the visa applicant can proceed with the next steps in their application. Results are sent directly to USCIS or the requesting embassy or consulate, and a copy is provided to the petitioner. Submitting to testing is voluntary and doesn’t guarantee visa issuance. All testing costs are the responsibility of the petitioner and/or visa applicant.

Relationships Tested & What to Bring to Your Appointment

Immigration DNA testing at Fastest Labs of Campbell has helped individuals document relationships with a parent, grandparent, sibling, or another relative already living in the U.S. Commonly tested relationships include paternity, maternity, full-siblingship, and half-siblingship. Our certified collectors manage the collection process and can answer questions about what documentation you’ll need.

Preparation makes a difference. Here’s what each participant should have ready:

Valid government-issued photo ID: Adult participants must present one at their appointment.
Parental or guardian consent: For participants under 18, a parent, guardian, or authorized conservator must be present to provide consent.
DNA test payment receipt (visa applicant): The visa applicant must bring this to their U.S. embassy or consulate appointment. Without it, the appointment may be rescheduled.
Passport (visa applicant): Required at the embassy or consulate appointment alongside the photo ID and payment receipt.

The laboratory coordinates the visa applicant’s overseas sample collection through the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate, so you won’t have to manage that piece on your own.

Why AABB Accreditation Matters for Your Immigration Case

AABB, the American Association of Blood Banks, is the accreditation body whose standards USCIS and most U.S. embassies and consulates require before they’ll accept DNA test results in an immigration case. If results come from a lab that isn’t genuinely AABB accredited, they may not be accepted and the process may have to start over. We use facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing.

The U.S. State Department has warned against laboratories that claim AABB affiliation without appearing on the official accredited facilities list. At Fastest Labs of Campbell, we use fully AABB accredited and experienced laboratories for all immigration DNA testing. Sample collection, chain-of-custody documentation, and laboratory analysis all meet the standards your case requires. Choosing an accredited provider from the start can help protect your timeline.

When USCIS or a Consular Officer May Suggest DNA Testing

Immigration DNA testing is voluntary. USCIS can suggest it as secondary evidence when primary documents aren’t sufficient to establish a biological relationship, but it can’t require it. When USCIS recommends testing, it typically does so through a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). A consular officer at a U.S. embassy may also suggest DNA testing for immigrant visa applications when documentary evidence of the biological relationship is lacking.

Beyond immigrant visa applications, DNA testing may be suggested in connection with Consular Reports of Birth Abroad and U.S. passport applications. Consulates may suggest testing to verify a relationship, not to disprove one. Compliance is entirely voluntary, and positive results don’t guarantee that USCIS will approve a petition or visa application.

DNA technology is the only non-documentary method accepted for proof of a biological relationship in immigration cases. The cheek swab collection method is non-invasive and painless. For parent-child relationships, a buccal cheek swab test meets the industry-accepted standard of 99.5 percent certainty, which is why it’s the accepted method across USCIS and embassy processes worldwide.
