How to file for a DNA test?

To perform a DNA test for immigration purposes, wait to receive a formal request from USCIS, a U.S. embassy, U.S. consulate, or Passport Agency. These agencies issue the request when your initial documentation submitted with an immigrant visa application or Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) application does not sufficiently prove a biological relationship.

The request may suggest you to provide secondary evidence through voluntary DNA testing.
