CoreCollect provides professional immigration DNA collection services that support individuals and families navigating the immigration process.
In some immigration cases, applicants must demonstrate a biological relationship with a family member who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. When official documentation alone is not sufficient to confirm this relationship, DNA testing can provide reliable scientific verification.
Our team assists both the petitioner in the United States and the visa applicant abroad, helping ensure the collection process is completed according to immigration testing requirements. Throughout the process, we provide guidance to help families understand the steps involved and what to expect during testing.
While immigration DNA testing involves several steps, the process is structured and designed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the results. Both the U.S.-based family member and the visa applicant typically participate in the testing procedure.
The general process may include the following steps:
Appointment for the U.S. Petitioner
The family member located in the United States schedules a DNA collection appointment with an approved collection provider such as CoreCollect.
DNA Sample Collection
A non-invasive cheek swab is used to collect the petitioner’s DNA sample.
Laboratory Processing
The collected sample is securely sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis and coordination with the immigration case.
Notification for the Visa Applicant
The applicant abroad is typically instructed by the appropriate embassy or consulate to schedule a DNA collection appointment.
Applicant DNA Collection
The visa applicant provides a DNA sample, usually collected through a cheek swab under official supervision to maintain testing integrity.
Laboratory Analysis and Results
Both DNA samples are analyzed to determine whether a biological relationship exists.
Results Submission
The laboratory sends the results directly to the appropriate immigration authority or embassy handling the case.
Once results are processed, the immigration application can continue with the appropriate documentation.
