Immigration Citizenship DNA Testing Roadmap

Immigration-related DNA testing is not the same as purchasing an ordinary home DNA test.

The Immigration & Citizenship DNA Testing Roadmap explains the specialized process used when DNA relationship testing becomes part of certain U.S. immigration, visa, citizenship, passport, or family-relationship matters.

This guide helps families understand the role of AABB-accredited relationship-testing laboratories, how official testing is initiated, how collection appointments are coordinated, how identity and chain-of-custody requirements work, how samples and results are handled, and what participants should expect throughout the process.

It also explains common misunderstandings that can cause families to waste time or money—such as purchasing the wrong type of DNA test or attempting to handle official testing outside the required process.

Designed for families, petitioners, sponsors, attorneys, advocates, and anyone who wants a clearer understanding of immigration-related DNA testing before moving forward.
