How the Immigration DNA Testing Process Works

Immigration DNA testing involves two collection events: one for the petitioner (the U.S.-based family member) and one for the visa applicant overseas. Here’s how each step unfolds:

Petitioner schedules at our facility: The petitioner contacts Fastest Labs of Santa Clarita to schedule an appointment at our accredited lab facility in Santa Clarita.
Cheek swab collection: At the appointment, a certified collector takes a cheek swab from the petitioner.
Sample sent for analysis: The petitioner’s sample is sent to our main testing location for laboratory analysis.
Visa applicant schedules at a U.S. embassy or consulate: The visa applicant arranges a DNA collection appointment at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate in their country.
Required documents for the embassy appointment: The visa applicant must bring a passport, a valid photo, and the DNA test payment receipt. Missing the payment receipt can result in the appointment being rescheduled.
Witnessed cheek swab collection: Embassy officials witness the cheek swab collection from the visa applicant to satisfy chain-of-custody requirements.
Results and next steps: The visa applicant’s sample is sent to the FastestLabs facility for analysis. Once results are available, the visa applicant can proceed with the next steps in the application process.

Throughout every stage, careful chain-of-custody procedures are followed to support acceptance by USCIS and U.S. embassies or consulates.

Relationship Types Covered

Immigration DNA testing can verify a range of biological relationships, and the specific relationship to be tested is typically named in the USCIS or embassy request. Testing can establish connections between a visa applicant and a parent, grandparent, sibling, or another relative already living in the United States, covering both paternity and maternity lines. When a direct parent isn’t available, extended family relationships can often still be verified through comparative DNA analysis.

Why AABB Accreditation Is Required

AABB (the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies) sets the accreditation standard that USCIS requires for immigration DNA testing. Results from non-accredited facilities aren’t accepted, which means choosing the wrong collection point can delay a visa application.

Fastest Labs of Santa Clarita We use facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing.
