Immigration DNA Testing in Montgomery
AABB Accredited Testing. More Than a Decade of Experience.
When a visa application comes down to proving a biological relationship, the laboratory you choose matters more than almost anything else. Fastest Labs of Montgomery uses only fully AABB accredited and experienced laboratories for Immigration DNA Testing Services, meeting the exact standard required by USCIS, U.S. embassies, and U.S. passport agencies. We’ve supported clients through this process for more than 10 years, and our team is ready to guide petitioners in Montgomery and the surrounding area through every step.
Immigration DNA testing confirms a biological relationship between a U.S. relative and a family member applying for a visa abroad. When official documents don’t conclusively establish that connection, a DNA test can become an important part of the visa application process. USCIS and U.S. embassies will only accept results initiated by and reported directly from an AABB-accredited laboratory. AABB, formally known as the American Association of Blood Banks (now the Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies), sets the quality and chain-of-custody standards the federal government relies on.

The process involves two people in two locations: the petitioner (the U.S. relative) and the visa applicant (the family member abroad). Both must follow their steps in sequence for the results to be accepted.
For the Petitioner in Montgomery
The petitioner schedules an appointment at our facility and provides a DNA sample via cheek swab. That sample is sent to the accredited testing lab for analysis. The process is quick and non-invasive.
For the Visa Applicant Abroad
Once the petitioner’s sample is on file, the visa applicant schedules an appointment at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country. Before that appointment, the visa applicant must pay the required fee and bring the payment receipt. Without it, the appointment may need to be rescheduled. At the embassy, they’ll need a valid passport, a photo ID, and that receipt. A cheek swab sample is then collected on-site under the observation of embassy or consulate officials to verify accuracy and maintain chain of custody.
Results & Next Steps
The visa applicant’s sample is sent to the U.S. testing facility for analysis. Once results are available, the visa applicant can move forward with the next steps in their immigration application. DNA testing for immigration is voluntary, though a consular officer or USCIS may suggest it when other documentation of a biological relationship isn’t sufficient.

Biological Relationships Immigration DNA Testing Can Verify
Not every family relationship can be confirmed through DNA, so it’s worth understanding what the test can establish before you begin. A consular officer or USCIS will indicate which specific relationship needs to be proven in your case.
Immigration DNA testing can verify the following biological relationships:
More distant relationships may not be provable through DNA testing alone. The test compares the DNA sample from the petitioner in the U.S. against the sample collected from the visa applicant at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad.
One detail worth knowing: immigration DNA testing must be initiated directly between the petitioner and an AABB-accredited facility. Results submitted through a third party that claims to use an AABB lab may not satisfy USCIS requirements and could be rejected. Working directly with an accredited location helps protect the integrity of your case from the start.
