Immigration DNA Tests We Provide

Different immigration cases call for different types of relationship verification. Fastest Labs has more than a decade of experience working with facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing.

Paternity/maternity testing: The most common immigration DNA test, used in family-based immigration cases where a parent is sponsoring a child or an adult child is sponsoring a parent.
Full or half siblingship testing: Used when siblings need to establish a shared biological parent and a parent is unavailable for testing.
Grandparentage and extended family testing: Available for more complex family structures in support of USCIS family-based visa petitions.
Complex cases involving individuals born abroad without citizenship: We can assist when standard documentation is unavailable or insufficient.

For parent-child tests, USCIS may accept a probability of at least 99.5% as evidence of a biological relationship. We use facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing.

How the Immigration DNA Testing Process Works

Our staff guide you through every step. Here’s what to expect from start to finish:

Receive your official request first. Schedule your test only after receiving a written Request for Evidence (RFE) or official notice from USCIS, a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or a U.S. passport agency. Testing before this notice may require repeat testing.
Contact us to schedule. Call Fastest Labs of South Memphis to set up your collection appointment and confirm which family members need to be tested.
Attend your appointment. Bring a valid photo ID and any documentation from the requesting agency. Identity is verified, and a non-invasive buccal swab is collected under strict chain of custody procedures.
Lab analysis and results delivery. We use facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing. Once complete, results are sent directly to the requesting immigration authority, which is required for the results to be accepted.

If a family member resides outside the U.S., sample collection is coordinated through the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the beneficiary’s country.

What Makes an Immigration DNA Test Result Valid

Immigration DNA testing is voluntary. USCIS may suggest it when a petitioner can’t provide sufficient documentary evidence, such as birth certificates or school records, to establish a claimed biological relationship. It’s one option for supporting your case, not a requirement.

Not every DNA test qualifies. USCIS and the U.S. Department of State require testing to be performed by an AABB accredited laboratory. AABB accreditation (from the organization now known as the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies) is the recognized standard for relationship testing used in legal and government proceedings. Results from non-accredited labs aren’t accepted, and home DNA test kits don’t qualify because they can’t establish a legal chain of custody. We use facilities that are accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain of custody testing.

Chain of Custody & Result Submission

Chain of custody is the documented, unbroken record of how a sample is collected, handled, and transferred from the collection site to the laboratory. Any break in that chain can invalidate the result. Our certified collectors follow strict protocols at every step to preserve it.

Results must be sent directly from the AABB accredited laboratory to USCIS or the U.S. Embassy. Results submitted by the petitioner or applicant themselves won’t be accepted. That direct-to-authority requirement is one reason why choosing an accredited collection site from the start matters.

The Buccal Swab Collection Method

The buccal cheek swab is the preferred collection method for immigration DNA testing. It’s non-invasive, painless, and produces results equivalent in accuracy to other testing methods. The swab takes only seconds and requires no medical preparation.

DNA technology is the only non-documentary method accepted by the U.S. Department of State for proof of a biological relationship in visa cases. Submitting to testing doesn’t guarantee visa issuance or any other immigration benefit. The result is one piece of evidence that supports your application.
