Why Goodlettsville Families Choose Fastest Labs of Goodlettsville for Immigration Testing
Immigration testing is high-stakes. The results support a visa application, which means the collection facility, the laboratory, and the documentation all have to be right. Here’s what we bring to every appointment:
- AABB accredited laboratory partners: AABB accreditation isn’t a bonus feature for immigration testing. It’s a USCIS requirement. Results from non-accredited labs won’t be accepted.
- Certified collectors: Every sample is collected by a certified professional in a clean, comfortable facility. We keep wait times under five minutes so your visit can be as efficient as possible.
- Strict chain-of-custody procedures: From cheek swab collection through laboratory analysis, each step is documented to support results that are valid for immigration proceedings.
- Confidentiality: Your information and results are handled with full discretion throughout the process.
- Transparent pricing: Our pricing is straightforward with no surprises.
How Immigration DNA Testing Works
The process involves two separate collections: one for the petitioner in the U.S. and one for the visa applicant overseas. Here’s how it typically unfolds:
Petitioner Collection in Goodlettsville
The petitioner schedules an appointment at Fastest Labs of Goodlettsville. At the appointment, a DNA sample is collected via cheek swab and sent to our accredited lab facility for analysis. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, and if you’ve received a request letter from USCIS or a U.S. embassy or consulate, bring any case or file number listed on it.
Visa Applicant Collection Overseas
After the petitioner’s sample is collected, the visa applicant is prompted to schedule an appointment at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their country. They’ll need to pay the required fee before the appointment and bring the payment receipt with them. The appointment can be rescheduled if the receipt isn’t presented. At the appointment, the visa applicant must show a passport and a valid photo. A cheek swab sample is collected by embassy or consulate officials and sent to the U.S. lab for analysis.
After Results Are Ready
Once analysis is complete, the visa applicant can proceed to the next stage of the application process. Immigration DNA testing is entirely voluntary, and a result confirming a biological relationship supports the application. It does not guarantee visa issuance. That decision rests with USCIS or the relevant consular authority.

Relationships Covered by Immigration DNA Testing
USCIS can use DNA testing to verify biological relationships when standard documentary evidence, such as a birth certificate, is unavailable, was never issued, or is considered insufficient by the reviewing authority. USCIS may also issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) specifically suggesting DNA testing when documentation of the claimed family relationship is incomplete.
Our immigration DNA testing covers relationships including parent, grandparent, sibling, and other relatives. The most commonly tested relationships are paternity, maternity, full siblingship, and half siblingship. More distant relationships generally can’t be reliably proven through DNA testing for USCIS immigrant visa purposes, so we recommend contacting us with the specifics of your situation before scheduling.
Serving Goodlettsville, Davidson County & the Nashville Area
Goodlettsville sits at the border of Davidson and Sumner counties, just north of Nashville. It’s a region served by the USCIS Nashville Field Office. Having an in-person, AABB accredited collection point close to home matters when the stakes are high. At-home DNA kits don’t satisfy USCIS chain-of-custody requirements and won’t be accepted for immigration proceedings.
Fastest Labs of Goodlettsville serves individuals and families throughout Goodlettsville, Davidson County, Greenbrier, and the broader Nashville metro. We combine the resources of a nationally recognized testing network with attentive, locally operated service.
