What Is a Immigration DNA Test?

An immigration DNA test is used to establish biological family relationships when traditional documentation (birth certificates, marriage records) is insufficient or unavailable for a U.S. immigration petition. These tests must be performed by a laboratory accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) and must follow strict chain-of-custody protocols. The U.S. Embassy, USCIS, and immigration attorneys rely on these results. SafeTouch Enterprise coordinates the collection of the U.S.-based participant's sample and works with an AABB-accredited laboratory partner for the complete analysis.

How It Works

1
Confirm Your Case Details
Bring your embassy referral letter, USCIS case number, or attorney instructions. The U.S. Embassy or USCIS must authorize the DNA test before collection.
2
U.S.-Based Participant Collection
SafeTouch collects a buccal swab from the U.S.-based petitioner or relative at our Baltimore location, following AABB chain-of-custody protocols.
3
Overseas Participant Collection
The overseas participant is swabbed at the U.S. Embassy or an AABB-accredited facility in their country, coordinated by your case officer.
4
AABB-Accredited Lab Analysis
All samples are analyzed together at our AABB-certified laboratory partner. Results are issued in a format accepted by USCIS and U.S. Embassies.
5
Results Delivered to Embassy or Attorney
The certified report is sent directly to the embassy or your immigration attorney. Copies are also provided to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need embassy or USCIS authorization before scheduling?
Yes. U.S. immigration DNA tests must be authorized by the U.S. Embassy, USCIS, or your immigration attorney before collection begins. You must bring a referral letter or written case authorization to your appointment. We cannot collect samples without this documentation.
Which agencies accept SafeTouch immigration DNA results?
Immigration DNA specimens we collect are processed through an AABB-accredited laboratory. AABB accreditation is the standard required by USCIS, all U.S. Embassies, and most U.S. immigration courts. The laboratory delivers results in the format required by your specific agency.
What family relationships can be tested for immigration?
We can test parent-child, grandparent-grandchild, sibling, and more complex family relationships. The type of test is determined by the relationship claimed in your immigration petition and approved by the embassy or USCIS.
How does the overseas participant get tested?
The U.S.-based participant is collected at SafeTouch's Baltimore location. The overseas participant is swabbed at the U.S. Embassy in their country or an AABB-approved facility coordinated by the case officer. All samples are analyzed together at the AABB-accredited lab.
