Immigration

United States citizens can petition for their spouses, parents, children or siblings to immigrate to the United States and permanent residents can do so for their spouses and unmarried children.

In most cases there are sufficient written records to validate relationships and satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services Department. If more evidence of a biological relationship is needed, a voluntary DNA test may be advised. Tests are typically requested for immigration and passports and sometimes for other reasons. It is important to ask the reason for testing, as that could dictate which U.S. agency is responsible for sample collection and receiving reports.

DNA Collection of Petitioner

The person residing in the United States is the petitioner.  We can set up an appointment for the petitioner to be collected at a facility close to their home. They will need a government issued photo identification and a copy of a letter from the USCIS/ Embassy asking for a DNA test. If this letter is not available we would require any document they have received stating their government issued case number. This paperwork will allow the USCIS/ Embassy to match the laboratory results to the correct government case.

A sample collection kit must be sent directly from Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc. to the foreign location. This shipping cost is included in the immigration handling fee. Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc will then supply you with the tracking number, or the appointment information. Some countries contact the
persons in their country with an appointment time, while other countries contact the petitioner with an appointment time.

handling fees. The laboratory will notify you if you are working with one of these countries.
