Immigration DNA Testing in Lafayette, LA
AABB-Accredited Testing for Lafayette Parish & Acadiana Families
When USCIS or a U.S. Embassy requires proof of a biological relationship and documents aren’t enough, immigration DNA testing gives families the verified evidence they need. FastestLabs provides immigration DNA testing backed by AABB accredited laboratories, the standard required by USCIS and the U.S. Department of State. With more than 10 years of industry experience, we combine certified in-person collection with fast turnaround so your case doesn’t wait longer than it has to.
USCIS may request DNA testing when a petitioner and beneficiary can’t provide sufficient documentary evidence, such as birth certificates or school records, to establish a claimed biological relationship. Home test kits and results from non-AABB-accredited labs aren’t accepted for immigration or other legal purposes. Results must come from an AABB accredited laboratory using strict chain of custody procedures, which is exactly how we operate.

Types of Immigration DNA Tests We Offer
The relationship being verified determines which test USCIS or the relevant embassy will authorize. FastestLabs uses only AABB-accredited and experienced laboratories that conduct all types of immigration testing services, so we can support a wide range of family-based immigration cases.
- Paternity/maternity testing: The most common immigration DNA test, used to confirm a parent-child biological relationship for visa petitions and citizenship applications.
- Full or half siblingship testing: Used when a sibling relationship needs to be established and a shared parent is unavailable for testing.
- Family-based immigration DNA testing: Covers extended family categories such as grandparentage, supporting a range of USCIS family-based visa petitions.
- Complex cases: We can assist with situations involving individuals born abroad without citizenship, where standard documentation may be limited or unavailable.
For a DNA test result to be accepted by USCIS, it must demonstrate at least a 99.5% probability of the claimed biological relationship for parent-child tests. Our AABB-accredited laboratory partners meet this requirement. USCIS, the U.S. Department of State, or the relevant U.S. Embassy must request DNA testing in writing, typically through a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a formal letter from a consular officer, before the test is ordered. Results submitted without that prior written request may be rejected.
How Immigration DNA Testing Works at FastestLabs
The process is straightforward. We use a non-invasive cheek swab, called a buccal swab, for DNA sample collection. All participants present a valid photo ID at collection, and photographs are taken of all parties. From that point forward, a strict chain of custody tracks every sample from collection through lab analysis to results delivery.
Samples are sent to our AABB-accredited laboratory partners for analysis. Most results are available within 2-3 days of sample receipt, dependent on test type. When a beneficiary is located outside the U.S., we coordinate pre-arranged sample collection locations for individuals outside the U.S. through the appropriate embassy or collection site so the process can move forward without requiring everyone to be in the same location. Final results are delivered with proper documentation ready for use in citizenship applications, visa sponsorships, and passport verification.
