Frequently Asked Questions
What is paternity testing for immigration?
Paternity testing is a genetic test used to determine whether an alleged father is the biological father of a child. For immigration purposes, this test may be required when documentation of the biological relationship is insufficient for:
- Immigrant visa applications
- Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)
- Passport applications
Accreditation and chain of custody
All DNA tests are performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner under strict supervision. This accreditation ensures that:
- Your results will be recognized by USCIS and all immigration agencies nationwide
- Proper chain of custody protocols will be maintained throughout the testing process”
Where can I perform a DNA test for immigration purposes?
Contact our office at 646-383-9778 to schedule an appointment at one of the facilities in our network in New York City.
How long does it take to receive my paternity test results?
The turnaround time for paternity test results is three business days from the date the lab receives all samples.
For domestic USCIS cases, results are delivered in two to three business days.
For international DNA sample collections, results take two to three business days once the samples arrive at the laboratory.
However, scheduling the collection appointment and shipping samples internationally can take several weeks.
The average turnaround time is six to eight weeks, though appointment scheduling times will vary depending on the embassy or consulate’s workload.
What are the requirements for immigration paternity testing in NYC?
To perform a paternity test for immigration purposes, you must have either:
- A Request for Evidence (RFE) letter from USCIS, or
- A letter requesting DNA testing from an embassy or consulate abroad
Important: While paternity testing can be performed in New York without an RFE letter, a standard legal test will not be accepted for most immigration cases. Immigration cases require a specific legal chain of custody that standard tests don’t provide.
