AABB Immigration DNA Testing

DNA testing is an important step to complete the immigration process for family members. It is required to prove a biological relationship between a petitioner and a beneficiary, using an AABB accredited immigration DNA testing lab, when evidence (e.g, birth certificate) is deemed insufficient or inconclusive by the USCIS or U.S. embassy. Examples of DNA tests used for immigration purposes include paternity tests, maternity tests, siblingship tests, and grandparentage tests, all of which must utilize AABB accredited testing facilities.

DNA Diagnostics Center is an AABB accredited DNA testing laboratory that can coordinate all DNA sample collections regardless of location. Guidelines issued by the US Department of State and AABB require that an AABB testing laboratory coordinate the entire DNA testing process - DDC is here to help!

AABB requirements for accredited DNA testing labs:

1. DDC schedules the petitioner appointment if they are located in the US
2. DDC ships a DNA collection kit to the US Embassy / USCIS office in your home country
3. US Embassy / USCIS office collects the beneficiary's DNA sample and ships the samples back to DDC
4. Once testing is complete, DDC ships the DNA testing results directly to the requesting Immigration office
