Immigration DNA Test

Health Street specializes in collecting specimens for such tests. Our AABB certified laboratory works with the US consulate offices in over 170 countries around the world. The DNA of the sponsoring party is collected in any of our clinics, and the DNA of the relatives are collected at the US Consulate offices in their home country. Their DNA is then shipped to our laboratory where the analysis is completed. Once the report is ready, it is submitted directly to the Immigration and Naturalization Service to expedite the process.

• Health Street will arrange to collect your specimen (cheek swab) in the US at a convenient location.
• You, the petitioner, will come in for your appointment, where we will swab your cheeks.
• We’ll then ship a specimen collection kit to the US Consulate in the applicant’s home country.
• The US Consulate will arrange for the collection of the specimen of your relative(s).
• To get a DNA immigration test, you need to bring in photo ID and the paperwork (from INS) that requests you to get the test.
• Immigration DNA test collections need to be pre-scheduled through the AABB certified laboratory that we work with. We’ll help you arrange that contact.

Once the test results are completed, we’ll submit the results directly to U.S. Immigration on your behalf, as they require.

Note that this test can also be used to establish legal proof of relationships for the purpose of obtaining a US Passport.

If you need more than 2 people tested (yourself + people tested in another country), or if it’s not a standard paternity test (such as a maternity or sibling test), then please ensure you specify this (in the shopping cart) when ordering this test.

• In NY State, the laboratory fee must be paid directly to the lab, although your total out of pocket costs won’t change.
• For Ethiopia immigration, call for assistance.  We will get you to a specialist at the laboratory that can help you.
• Shipping costs vary by country. To find the costs of shipping the kit to the US Consulate office in your particular home country, simply check in the drop down menu that we provide to the right of this screen.
• There is no extra charge (by Health Street) for the appointment in your home country, although the consulate in some countries may assess a small fee that we cannot control.
