DNA testing has become one of the most important pieces of evidence, if not the most important, in establishing and protecting a child’s immigration status. With such importance linked to one single test, it is vital that the testing facilities, as well as the test itself, be of the best quality available and that there are no questions about the validity of the results. Put simply, DNA testing should be conducted by a trustworthy testing company with experience in the field.

Immigration status can define a child’s entire life. Inaccurate results can lead to complications in a child’s immigration case or even to deportation procedures for the child, with a family torn apart and faced with incredible hard decisions. For this reason, it is necessary to provide DNA test results that show the biological relationship between a parent or other direct family member and a child.

DNA test results are often the preferred item evidence requested or accepted by immigration officers when a child’s birth certificate, or other primary item of evidence, is deemed unacceptable or questionable. In some immigration cases, such as when a father is using his own citizenship to gain citizenship for his child, DNA testing can even be mandatory. If the test is not processed by an accredited laboratory, the results will not be satisfactory, can be rejected and can jeopardize what becomes of the child or even the family.

Test results that inspire confidence are also necessary to prevent a denial or costly extension in an immigration case. When family ties are concretely established by a DNA test, the child’s immigration rights and status are protected, preventing unwanted complications in the immigration case.

DNA testing can be the only way a family proves that the claimed relationship between family members is genuine, especially when there are errors in the original identification documents that can result from clerical error and poor record-keeping practices. If an immigration officer notices these errors, additional evidence can be requested to continue with the immigration case or adjustment of immigration status, and often, the evidence requested is a DNA test.

DNA test results accepted by the immigration authorities must come from laboratories that are accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). These DNA tests are completely private and voluntary and all their costs must be covered by the petitioner.

DNA testing can be done on-site at an accredited laboratory, but there are also at-home testing options available. Some companies sell testing kits that are then mailed-in to the laboratory for processing. While the costs for using home kits for DNA testing might be lower, this type of DNA testing does not offer the air-tight results required by the immigration authorities, and when a child’s entire future depends on a DNA test, there is no room for error. At-home, mobile testing might be the better alternative, especially for those clients who want to keep a certain degree of privacy while their immigration case is in process. This type of testing offers both privacy and comfort since the client does not need to leave home to have the sample collected.

At-home, professional mobile testing ensures that an experienced employee from a licensed laboratory will visit the home of the family to collect the sample and that the sample will then be processed quickly and effectively.
