Why Families in Seguin Choose Fastest Labs of Seguin

Immigration DNA testing carries real consequences. A compromised sample or a broken chain of custody can invalidate your results entirely, which means how the test is conducted matters as much as the result itself. Chain of custody is the documented sequence of custody, control, and handling from collection through delivery to the laboratory, and maintaining it is non-negotiable for immigration purposes.

Home DNA test kits don’t meet USCIS or Department of State chain-of-custody requirements and can’t be submitted as immigration evidence. A properly administered test must be collected by a certified collector who witnesses, logs, and seals the sample before sending it directly to an accredited laboratory.

Relationship Types We Test for Immigration Purposes

Our Immigration DNA Testing covers the relationships most commonly requested by USCIS, U.S. embassies, and consular offices. These include paternity/maternity testing, full or half siblingship testing, and family-based immigration cases.

DNA testing for immigration most often applies when families are applying for an immigrant visa, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), or U.S. passport verification. It also supports family reunification cases and applications involving relatives born abroad without U.S. documentation. Note that more distant relationships such as cousins can’t be reliably established through standard DNA relationship testing.

How the Immigration DNA Testing Process Works

The process begins when the petitioner receives a Request for Evidence (RFE) or official written notice from USCIS, a U.S. passport agency, or a U.S. embassy or consulate requesting additional evidence to establish a claimed biological relationship. Don’t begin testing before receiving that official notice. Preemptive testing won’t satisfy chain-of-custody requirements and may need to be repeated.

Once you have your RFE, our Seguin team takes it from there. Sample collection at our facility is fast, non-invasive, and handled entirely by our certified collectors using a painless cheek swab. Upon completion, results are sent directly to the requesting immigration agency, whether that’s USCIS or a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, with a copy provided to the petitioner. Only results sent directly by an AABB-accredited laboratory are accepted. It’s also worth knowing that submitting to DNA testing doesn’t guarantee visa issuance. The result is one piece of evidence reviewed as part of your overall application.

Our friendly and professional staff members are with you at every step, from answering your initial questions to helping confirm your documentation is in order before you leave.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

Adults being tested for immigration purposes must present a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver’s license. You’ll also need a copy of your USCIS Request for Evidence or official notice before the testing process can begin. Bring any relevant legal documents tied to your specific case as well.

During collection, our certified collectors witness, log, and seal each sample to protect chain-of-custody integrity. Under USCIS and Department of State guidelines, petitioners must not directly receive or handle test kits intended for themselves or their beneficiaries. Our collectors manage this process to reduce the risk of a procedural error on your end.

Because documentation requirements can vary by case type, we recommend calling ahead to confirm exactly what identification or paperwork is required for your specific immigration test. Our team can make sure you arrive prepared.

AABB Accreditation & Why It Matters

USCIS and the U.S. Department of State require immigration DNA testing to be performed by an AABB-accredited laboratory. AABB accreditation (from the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies) is the standard that ensures laboratory reliability, quality control, and accuracy. Only results from an AABB-accredited laboratory sent directly to USCIS or the relevant embassy or consulate will be accepted as immigration evidence.

Immigration authorities recognize a biological relationship when DNA test results show 99.5% or greater probability, which is the industry-accepted reliability standard. If a laboratory claims AABB accreditation but doesn’t appear on the AABB’s published list, don’t use it for immigration DNA testing. Our process routes all samples to an accredited laboratory and follows the required chain-of-custody protocols so your results meet that standard.
