DNA Testing for I-130 RFE

If you’ve received a Request For Evidence (RFE) suggesting a DNA test, then your family is probably very close to getting a visa. However, if you fail to choose an AABB laboratory who specializes in immigration, then you run the risk of delaying the process even further.

So you’ve gotten the letter from immigration requesting either a DNA test or a blood specific antigen test. Immigration tells you that the lab you choose to perform the testing must be accredited by the AABB. There are roughly 50 of these labs in the U.S. so you’ll have no problem finding one. Choosing one is more difficult. The fact is most AABB accredited laboratories specialize in standard paternity and relationship testing. Not many specialize in DNA testing for immigration purposes.

Why does that matter?

A couple reasons. First, Immigration DNA testing involves more than just the test itself. It involves shipping supplies, tracking packages, scheduling foreign collections, communicating with doctors and embassies, and much more. There are labs that are accredited by the AABB who will take a year to complete your immigration DNA test. That’s a year longer you’re without your family.

Second, most labs are focused purely on the lab work itself and leave customer service behind. These labs may get you results, but you’ll have no clue when because they won’t call you. They won’t email you. They won’t write you.

When it comes time to get an immigration DNA test (they are being requested more and more often) then choose a DNA testing company who has immigration experience. Make them tell you where they’ll be shipping your package. Ask them where your family will be collected. Ask them for a breakdown of all fees – both domestic and international.

The cost of an immigration DNA test for 2 people should be between $800-$1000. Anything less and you’ll be sacrificing accuracy, customer service, or both. Anymore and the company is probably making a very large profit. It’s worth spending the money when you think of the time you’ll be spending with your family instead of waiting for them to arrive.
